Started this a while and decided to pick it up again and finally finish it, tried my first pastel wash on the interior, hoping it came out ok. I’m not the best at modelling but I try my best. 
Still need to clean up some more, looking for any input. Thanks
Looking good. The cockpit is going to be a nice addition
Looks good. One suggestion, the wash might be a bit heavy, but I am not sure how it will look once the model is put together. You might want to try dry brushing a lightened version of the base color to tie it all together.
how did you apply the rust color inside the fuselage?
Nice work so far! FYI if you don’t know add lots of weight to nose its a real tail sitter.
I like the rust color…that came out well.
Thanks guys 
For the wash I did a dark brown compressed pastel chalk, ground up and mixed with water and some dish soap. It did come out a bit heavier than I wanted but once I clean it up a bit more it shouldn’t be too bad. I was going for this look: www.modelairplanebuilding.com/cockpit.html.
Would glued pennies be heavy enough? I did some test fitting and your right, this thing is extremely tail heavy lol
I would think pennies would work. But I’d imagine it would be pretty hard to hide them with the clear nose. When I built my B-25 I ended up packing lead weight in the cockpit area where it was hidden. If I recall I put some in the engines as well.
Lead fishing sinkers, lead shot, solder, or old tire weights provide the most weight for the smallest size. You can shape it with a hammer and secure it with CA glue. Lead is toxic so you shouldn’t be sanding, filing or grinding it and, be sure to wash your hands really well. The back side of the nose tunnel is a good place for some of the weight. Put the rest where the weight is on the real aircraft; In the engine nacelles forward of the landing gear.
On the other hand, the kit comes with a small step ladder that can be glued to the rear crew entrance hatch ladder or just placed under it. That will prop up the tail. I prefer to weight the aircraft, though.
I have both the glass nose B-25J and, the gun nose 'J by Monogram in my stash. Both really nice kits!
All the best

Great looking effort; hope to follow this in the future. Thanks for the post!!
I built this kit as a kid back in the early 80’s, outside of the raised panel lines it’s a great kit. You’ll enjoy building it.
I think I remember reading that the raised panel lines on this kit were actually more appropriate in this case and more closely matched the real plane. Has anyone else read/heard that?

When I was at the big annual EAA fly-in last year, I was taken aback by how prominent the overlapping panels were. Same goes with the rows and rows of rivets especially around the tail area. That being said, you’re darned right that raised panel lines are far more appropriate and accurate than recessed lines in this case.
Nothing bugs me more than when someone takes a Revellogram kit such as their B-25, spends so much $$$ on every single bit of available aftermarket items as they claim to make it more “accurate”, then procede to remove all the panel lines and scribe in sunken ones.
