At 1/32 must be huge. Great looking model and base.
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
Most impressive. I'm going to reference these photos for weathering technique. Well done.
Beautifully done !

wpwar11 I'm blown away by this stunning build. A true masterpiece. The guy buying it is lucky. Speaking of the gentleman purchasing it I hope he can pick it up locally. I can't imagine shipping that thing. I'm always impressed with the cockpit work and faded paint technique on your builds. I always liked hairspray or chipping medium for realistic chipping but the frisket worked well. Looking forward to seeing the Zero. My reference pictures show those things were chipped to hell and back. Paul

Thanks Paul. Well, actually the reason I agreed to build it was because the wings are supposed to be detachable. Unfortunately once built they are tight and hard to remove without force. I can't risk breaking it. Now I have to find a box that's at least 25 by 25 inches. Same gentleman wanted a 1/32 B-17, but I politely turned it down.

damouav Mate, I was getting a little worried as I hadnt sighted any builds from you recently. Now I understand why, fanatstic work as always. Look foward to the next build.

I figured I'd share my journey with the monstrosity that has been consuming my life over the past month or so. Against my better judgement, I took on the task of building the HK 1/32 B-25 J. It's in the markings of "Apache Princess" from the 345th BG. My research revealed it was shot down by AA fire while trying to bomb an airfield and railyard on Formosa in May of 1945. The flight engineer was KIA, and the remainder of the crew were POW'd.
The guy I built it for supplied some extras, which included Master gun barrels, Brassin resin wheels, and the decals, which were made by Zotz. I added PE seat belts I had in the stash. Main stars and bars were painted on with Montex masks. The paint was AK Real Colors with alternating shades of OD 41 and faded OD. I was happy with the effect. This would have been a serious tail dragger, so I added 200 grams of Crossman BB's to the nose. I tried a new chipping technique by using liquid frisket on the cowls (baby steps). I was pleased with the effect. I intend to try it a bit more on the Zero I just started.
A few in progress pics.....
That's alot o' BB's
