Awesome build!  I just love the weathering effect you got on that OD finish.

You're running outta room to film this bird, huh?! =] very cool Joe. That glass looks great from HK at 1:32. I'm always sketchy of the thickness of glass parts. All around great build. Might be one of your best. The weathering is well accomplished too. Definitely getting some liquid friskett. Looks too easy not to use. I think the master model AM barrels are a must. If it's this big then you need detail. They sell it, hard. You know everybody's looking at those big guns. lol. Very cool Joe. Thanks for sharing. 

I cannot imagine how you actually ship something like that. That's a lot of trust. lol

Good to hear from you Joe. Now I know why you've been MIA. What a beautiful build. John
 

Thanks John. I took a break from the forum for a bit.

Well you knocked that one out of the park.  As usual, superb effort all the way around.

 

Thank you.

As usual Lawdog, another abolutely marvelous and stunning build, .....and those windows, so crisp and clear!! Wish mine came out like that. (I assume it's masked off, painted and then Futured?).

 

Thanks Steve. No future, just rubbing alcohol before masking. I don't polish my canopies as I don't think it's realistic. The windows were probably never sparkling clean on the real things.

Lawdog what a stupendous build! That liquid friskett looks better than anything I've seen for chipping. Love the finished build followed by the wip pics. it must pain you to give it to the guy you're building it for. You have to be proud of this one!

 

Thanks. No, I'm actually glad it will be gone soon. It takes up way to  much room. I am pleased with how it turned out though.

Gotta love the Apache Princess!  What a fantastic looking B-25! As always, I admire your fading and shading work -- it gives the paintwork tremendous depth. Congrats. I haven't built up the courage yet to get serious with chipping beyond some silver pencil. Your liquid frisket results are convincing so I'll give it a shot at some point. 

 

Thanks Hoss. Give it a try.  It's pretty easy to do.

Thanks Britt. The kit gun barrels were horrible. Didn't even have cooling slots. Masters were a no brainer. I found a suitable box, gonna be expensive though.....Whistling
