Accurate Miniatures B-25C/D WIP

Seems like I’ve been working on this one for months. All the detail in this kit takes a while to put in place. Everything fits so far, but it takes a lot of trial fitting to figure out the placements, and the sub assemblies have to be done carefully to avoid misalignment later on. I have not done a lot of weathering on the inside parts as they will all be in shadow once the fuselage is closed up. However, I think a lot will be visible through the windows provided I keep them clear. I have been doing a lot of walking away from the bench to let parts and paint dry. Other time commitments haven’t helped progress either. Here are some pictures. Building notes with these pictures are on my website, here:

Nice work on a great kit. And with AM kits it’s always advisable to take your time as you are doing.

Hey John, I’ve got this one in the stash so I’m following your WIP closely. You’re off to a great start. Kind of a shame; all that detail inside and so little will truly be clearly visible in the finished model. But your photos show off your attention to detail. Kudos!

Sure looks good. This hobby will teach you patience. If you let it. [H]

Looks real good at this stage John. Keep us posted as you progress.

Looking good! I’ve built two of the AM B-25s and I really like the kits. Got a third one in the stash awaiting its time on the bench.

Keep up the good work.
