Well it took me awhile to get this looking how I wanted it. And while its no masterpiece its not bad for my second go at it.
My first try was a B-25 (go figure). It was a Revell model kit and the fit and finish was way below par.
I still managed to do a decent job on it. If you want I can post some pictures of it some other time. http://www.geocities.com/gunnerfs/ I want thank Siggi for helping me with some tricks of the trade and other generous contributions.
Its a great hobby, and it gets me out of the house (to the garage, hehe). I recomend the hobby and its not to costly. Enjoy!

Looks good ! Post some pics of the b25.. Is your bike fixed up? I spent a couple hours cruising around at 1am. Try it sometime .. no cars no noise just the sound of the engine and the wind in your face. It feels like you're flying. All my troubles disappeared. TS

Thanks Biggles,
Its a 1/48 Tamiya Kit. Very nice detail, and everything fit great. You don't have to glue and clamp and pray.
I am going to start a 1/48 scale TBM Avenger by Accurate Miniatures That my wife bought for me at the George Bush Library here in town . This thing has a load of pieces! I just hope they fit well.-=BAB=- Gunner

WOW, compute running slowly!!!!!!!!!!I have been looking at getting thaw Tamiy corsair, looks nice. The AM Avnger is a nice kit, it has a few minor fit problems but, in all it should turn out a good model.
Mine is stil sitting on the shelf half built. I had a go at masking all the f*ck#ng glass, and screwed it up! Im now looking for a Squadron canopy for it! Dumb thing is, i also got the AM Dauntless!!!!!!!!!!!! Ah, give me the 'Express Masks' anyday!!!!!!!!! IP: Logged |
