Really nice build. I buillt this kit a while ago for a friend of mine whose grandfather was a copilot one of the planes - Griffith Williams, copilot on TNT. Well done.
Thanks,

Wolfman, that is a real fine Doolittle bomber. There are several of us just waiting to start our attempts of one. Both you and Lawdog have certainly showed us how! Thanks for sharing.

This has been fun to watch David. Thanks for sharing. =] There's lots of fun things going on here. It'll be a big help when I get around to my Doolittle B-25.
Looking forward to the finish line.
Very impressive. It's coming along really nicely. Wish I had the same kind of info resources you do for this for my Lancer! It's that detailed knowledge that can add that extra edge to a model.
Impressive build so far.
I really like your Vindicator and Wildcat as well - very clean builds.

You’re moving right along. Nice touch with the extra details on the engines. I’m also impressed with the scratch built bomb. While it’s not easy to see in the plane, it certainly looks good in your pictures!
Thanks for sharing!
The GP M-43 bombs used were yellow as shown in the photos of Doolittle attaching Japanese medals to the bombs. The bomb carts were light gray. As you are using OP-1664 as a reference, the color was changed on March 11, 1942. The Hornet was full of yellow bombs as the munitions warehouses were full of yellow bombs due to the start of war production ramping up in 1941. In the Aleutians, the US was dropping yellow bombs into 1943.

Minicraft 1/72 B-24D as LB-30, AL-613, "Tough Boy", 28th Composite Group
Nice custom addition with the thermite bomb. Looks the part :-) Have you thought about a way to show off all that clean detail work you are doing inside? Would be a shame to hide it.
In the pattern: Scale Shipyard's 1/48 Balao Class Sub! leaning out the list...NOT! Ha, added to it again - Viper MkVii, 1/32 THUD & F-15J plus a weekend madness build!

One thing: US fire extinguishers located in aircraft during WW2 were natural bronze or brass in color since that was what they were made of. Extinguishers located on the ground were painted red. Postwar aircraft extinguishers were painted red.
This is looking like a really great build. Didn't know that about the machine guns, but it is details like that that make all the difference
