A moment of silence for the Belle - the bird survived an entire tour, then got whacked by the cleaning lady... was she of German heritage??

I'll start on it as soon as I finish up the F6F for the Ally cat GB and a Halls Bulldog for the Racer GB . The Hellcat will be going into paint pretty soon and the Bulldog is a fairly simple build so it shouldn't be too long.
I'll probably build OOB since the kit is pretty well detailed with a fair amount of PE . I was looking for an excuse to build it as the box was taking up a good deal of storage space in the stash.LOL Looking forward to sharing it here.
Actually had several I was thinking of but, everybody's got a soft spot for the ol' Goony Bird.

Hi All,
Got a little more cockpit work done on the G4M1 "Betty" between proms,school plays and concerts....
The PE IP with acetate dials....
I did a little plumbing on the rear of the IP...I think it`ll be visible thru the canopy...
Needs a little cleaning up.
PE lap belts and arm rests...have to paint the lap belts....
That`s it for now...hopefully I`ll be able to knock a bunch of work out tonight.
Thanks for looking,
Len

Thats looking very nice Len. And love the wiring at the back of the IP. What did you use for that.

Thanks again for the kind words!
Nice IP Len. The C-47 I'll be building also has the acetate film instrument faces. I'm trying to think of some way to back lite them and other areas of the interior of my Trumpeter kit. Maybe with fiber optics.
BTW P38jl -I spy a couple old Monogram white box P-47s inyour stash. Cool! Has it really been that long since those boxes were on the store shelves. Used to buy them even at my local Walgreens in the toy aisle.
redraider56 Pilot, add a Monogram 1/48 B-25J gun nose under my name. My current builds have been going ahead of schedule and the gun nose is just begging for a dio, so I think that's gonna be my winter project this year

Do tell.. A diorama for that bird would rock.. Actually, dioramas are my thing, so they all rock, lol.. But the B-25 offers SO many possibilties... Shep Paine's derelect B-25H in the desert was awesome work, and told a story with no figures, no action... Just a rattlesnake under a wing and an oil drum spray-painted with "No Trespassing"...
Got any specfic dio ideas you're willing to share?
Some progress on both 25's.
The top pic is the cockpit from the Monogram J model, the bottom is AM/Italeri D model. What's surprising to me is the similiarity of the enginering on kits designed 20 years apart. I guess Monogram got it right and there's no reason to reinvent the wheel. I like the injection molding on the Monogram IP over the AM version even though neither IP looks anything like a B 25 IP. The detail on the AM version is sharper and more delicate than the Monogram. Both cockpits need a wash and some drybrushing. Getting close to buttoning up both fuselages. The interiors of both of these kits have a lot of detail that won't be seen in the finished product.
Len looking good so far nice job on the wiring.
jbrady the offices look great,intresting about the kits being so far apart in years yet so similar
Scratching the exhaust on the mills ,just need to fit in the head pipes all 54 of 'em yikes

Trey, If I had 54 headers on my hemi would it go way fast???
Anyone know where I can find AM M2's? The quality of the guns on both kits is pi$$ poor (I'm being kind).

Nice barrels Trey, but I'm looking for the entire gun. I saw some really nice M2s somewhere on this site... can't remember if it was a group build or in the armor forum. I'll keep looking.

Dry test fit with the major components
going with the flaps down on this build

Trey, I' impressed with overall fit. it looks like the clear part is going to fit well with the rest of the fuselage...
Vector makes full M2s.

Quickboost also makes the fuselage blister pods...they're labeled for a B-26, but they'll work on a -25.
Hans, I do have some ideas of what I'm gonna do. I've been tossing around ideas for the last couple months and think I know what I'm gonna do. I was originally gonna have 2 B-25s, a glass nose J and a gun nose J and have them together with the glass nose being beat up and having repairs done to her and then have and almost brand new gun nose next her with her nose opened up and getting loaded for a mission.
After realizing that that would take up some serious space I decided I'm just gonna do a gun nose with maintenance being done on her. I'm gonna open up an engine and put some scaffolding under it with some ground crew tinkering with it, and then I'm gonna open up the nose too and have a guy working on the guns. I'm thinking I might have a table put up somehwere where a guy is cleaning and working on some .50s.
I've got hooked on dios working on the one for my B-17 (still plugging away at it) and decided I need to do a Pacific scene now.
EDIT: I took a peek on the website with Shep's dios to see the B-25, and I noticed his P-61 dio is very similar to what I plan on doing with my B-25
