I can't seem to open the link. You may want to find another way to post your pictures directly into the thread.

The link works for me. Nice work. Were there any "gotchas" in the build?

lol...a couple...the nacelles had large gaps at the rear, The glass nose piece didnt want to fit quite right and the bombs didnt fit together like they should have...other than that. fun build. I think i over did the chipping (Done with a silver sharpie) but i have learned my lesson and the next one will not look so polka dotty. Thanks for the compliments

Ha,ha! Revelogram loves to drive us crazy regarding bad seams on engine nacelles on their 1/48 bombers. I think that your paint job is great. Yes, experience is a good  teacher.

Lowfly, that is a good B-25J that you turned out. I especially like that Revell kit; I have 5 of them in my stash plus about 5 more other versions.

I stepped away from the hobby when i was in my 20's (girls, Alcohol, Girls, Cars....did i say girls?) and decided that i wanted to pick it up again and boy am i glad i did. The techniques that were used on this model were all learned from watching Youtube videos and discussing with you all on here. Thanks for the kind words. It is much appreciated. This is the first model i used my Iwata Neo airbrush on as well. What a game changer the airbrush has been. Thanks again for the kind words. i am finishing a 1/72 Spitfire for my best friend (His favorite Plane) and i will be starting an F6F in 1/72 and i want to do a build thread on that one. Stay Tuned!
