Frightful6_7 I am going to look for a Japanese bomber since no one seems to be doing one but none in my stash currently. Any suggestions on which one.

I don't know of much other than Tamiya's Betty in 1/48th. There are a couple of Japanese twin engine bombers from Tamiya, Hasegawa, Fujumi and a couple of other companies in 1/72nd though.
EDIT: Went back and did a search on several company sites and oddly none of those kits seem to be in print now though I know they've all done 1/72 twin engine bomber kits.

The tamiya 1/48th is also kinda expensive for me but i will look into some 1/72nd. This is not my usual scale or subject. I do fighters (9) more than bombers (0).
EDIT: I found online a 1/144 Betty that i will probably do.
Some light work underway on the B-25...
There's going to be a lot of painting, at least base-coating, that'll need to happen before I can really start putting stuff together.
Also got some goodies today from Profimodeller. Canopy mask, heavy-as-a-cannonball nose weight, and brass armament set. Which...so great looking.

Hi everyone,
Apologies for not being around much, just been busy with other stuff.
Panzerpilot if I may I'd like to change my build to the Revell-Monogram 1/48 Do 217 E4, much as I fancied the Wellington it's just to damn big for my fast filling display space, besides I fancied something German!
Anyway I need to wrap up another project and then I'll be free to start, really looking forward to it too
Cheers....
Mike
Wish I had your space DoogsATX, that's gonna be huuugee....
Cheers...
Doogs that beast will weight really much waiting for more updates
heres mine , probably long as the hk b-25 horizontal rudders
need to collect some references to start the real work
already some minor piece was glued
the kit includes 5 pilots but i'll not use them. If put some pilot in ,i have the luftwaffe preiser set
I rescribbed already all main panel lines using the original raised as dime
Not planned again the work to do but surely cockpit and gear/wells improving.
rtoo speed makes ugly results, too relax don't make results
Do torpedoes count as bombs? If so, put me down for this:
Found it at the LHS and couldn't resist! If this gets ok'd it will end up being my third Soviet plane in a row (I think I may have a problem....)
Good stuff going on around here. Lots of A-20's and B-26's....
Yamato, good to see you again, that build looks very familiar....
Doogs, you are insane. That is huge.
Thanks
Bsyamato: Nice looking 111 there!
Doogs: I have to say it one more time that monster is awesome.
SR: Very cool! I've picked up two of the Zvezda kits of the Pe-8 four-engine bomber but haven't started either yet. The IL-4T torpedo bomber looks really cool, looking forward to seeing how she comes out.

Ooooooh... That's going on my wishlist.....
*slap!*
Darn it! Must stop buying Soviet stuff....
Ugh. Why do all the cool VVS things always come out in the wrong scale?
I'll try to get some pics up tonight of the Marauder. I started work in the cockpit/nose area last night and decided to scratchbuild sidewall detail instead of spring for the LoneStar cockpit. I've reworked both seats too, wired the IP and am trying to figure out how in the heck to make a bulkhead without a contour gauge

Whoops sorry!
They do two kits of the Pe-8, the regular bomber and one for Stalin's personal a/c though I think Stalin hated flying and only used it a handful of times.
Both look like great models in the box, super detail, I haven't built either as I said so I can't comment on fit.
Doogs: Yeah both are 1/72nd, though I'm generally a 1/48th guy I prefer my bombers in the smaller scale.
don't stop to buy soviet stuffs... just add some jap and italian subject
Loving the glassed nose of the il-4
DoogsATX Ugh. Why do all the cool VVS things always come out in the wrong scale?
It seems a lot of those eastern European companies prefer 1/72, and that's where a lot of the VVS stuff is coming from. You could build one anyway, and hide it inside your 1/32 monster....
On the bench: Airfix 1/72 Wildcat; Airfix 1/72 Vampire T11; Airfix 1/72 Fouga Magister

There's a diorama for you:
"mmm... 1/72... Om nom nom nom...."
I've been away a while, .. and away from the bench too much! Too much working and other distractions.
Nice to see some good work going on in here, gentlemen!
DoogsATX...Looks like you got it coming together. Pretty decent AM available for such a recent kit production! Those guns are gonna look nice!
Spike190. Gotcha changed to a Do217. Nice choice!

Been tripped up with compressor issues the past few days - my main compressor is down, and my old Paasche needs a 1/4 to 1/8" NPT adapter that I've had to order. So I'm stuck midway through priming the interior.
Haven't been altogether idle, however. Been knocking out a set of HGW micro-textile harnesses. LOVE these things. They've completely ruined me on PE belts, at least in 1/32 scale!
Doogs - Those belts look awesome!! Where'd you get them from?
It's been awhile since I picked them up, but I think I may have gotten them from Hannants
Hey, I was thinking about a Tamiya 1/48 Beaufighter at some point, not sure which variant yet. Put me down!
Cheers

Grumble, grumble,
Guys, thought I'd have the A-20 done by the weekend but finishing up I went to drill out the holes on the top of the spine for the two antenni and I guess the drill bit was dull because instead of cutting cleanly though the plastic it cracked the seam line I brushed on a little liquid cement and tried repainting it but the OD green was much lighter. It was then I realized that the green I'd used on the model was Polly Scale USAAF OD green which I don't have any more of and the paint I bought to replace it is Model Master USAAF OD green. Comes in the same bottle but the MM is much lighter than the PS. I figure I can add a little black or dark brown and get a decent match but the seam is now slightly visible and I believe that since I'm repainting the spine anyway I might as well try to putty and sand out the seam.
Grrrrrr, it's not a big thing but gosh it's annoying when I'm so close to finishing the kit. Hopefully I'll be done by next week.
I mentioned earlier i was going in with a G4M betty and i was wondering could i also enter a Bf 110?
Doogs the belts look great, I have the 1/32 Arado 196 and I think I'll get some of the HGW belts for that build.
some really great builds waiting in the wings, cant wait to see more progress.
me started!!! but only this done
OK... Panzerpilot... Give me a ruling on a Dornier 335A, 1 engine in front and 1 engine in back and an internal bomb bay that held 1 bomb. If OK it will be a Tamiya 1/48 scale Do.335 arrow. If that wont qualify, I have a Bf110 begging to be built.

Sounds good, Doug. Will be nice to see a Do335A!

Just collected more referece (thanx to Hans and Gregbale) about the wells, will just another non obb (the coin fail again to stay vertical ) kit. What's about a cinema hall in the rear? seems a good idea
Out of bad and general wrong inside details , the ip is correct!!.. left all the rest to correct
OK... I finally got everything in to get started, I decided to get the Verlinden detail kit since the engines looked so chincey, I've not worked much with resin kits but I have built my share of models over the years... Looks like a PITA but the resin parts look SOOO MUCH BETTER!
