Update: the caulk has shrunk down a little more after a couple days, so I would recommend two applications for any use, knowing that it's going to receed somewhat.
Bomb racks and sloppily-painted bombs installed:
Engines painted and detailed, installed with cowlings onto engine nacelles:
With the wings completed, I think I'm going to try spraying the OD/NG on these. My only pause is that I'm going to have to mix the grey, since I don't have any, and I'm not sure I can make it an exact match when I mix the rest for the fuselage.
This little post was broken out of the box. Replaced it with stretched sprue. Hopefully it'll be strong:
Bought quick boost barrells. Unfortunately, the set I got's for the B-25B, which means there are only seven barrels instead of the 19 on this bird. I'm going to use them on the nose mounted guns and the waist guns.
Also sadly found the mask set I ordered was for the -B model, meaning it's not very useful for the canopies on my J. I'm going to experiment with a couple of things, since fortunately this kit comes with two complete sets of clear. Has anybody ever tried painting over the whole canopy and picking the paint off of the clear glass with a toothpick? As tedious as applying a pre-cut masking set seems, using tape and cutting each window out individually seems even more so.
