…been away for a while. With school back in session, I’ve had no bench time. I’ll try to keep up with this build. I have this one in my stash. Mr. Toshi, continued prayers for you guys. Take care.

I appolagize for such a late response, I was shuttling Mrs. Toshi to University Hospital back and forth in downtown Cleveland. Right at Case Western Reserve.
Since I‘m going to hang the B-25 on the wall, I’ll be forgoing the heavy weight.
Than you!
Your friend, Toshi
I‘ll be hanging the Mitchell on the wall so I will forego the weights. Thank you sir, even if I didn’t utilize the nose weights, I learned a great deal from you and fellow forum members. Once again, Thank you!
Your friend, Toshi
I built this kit a couple of years ago. It turned out ok. I don’t think this kit has been improved at all. The only upgrade would be the decals. Thank you for visiting and sharing, I greatly appreciate it!
Your friend, Toshi
So have I. I was shuttling Mrs. Toshi back and forth to University Hospitals in Cleveland. It’s right by Case Western University. I just got some free time this evening. Check it out below. Thank you Cheamteacher for supporting my build thread.

On this kit I decided to try and build up the interior fueselage first prior to AB. Doing this, to fuse the small pieces to the interior without messy paint/glue issues. Unlike other techniques as an example: To paint/AB each piece prior to assembly. I got a strong connection/bond fuse) of each piece.
Here is the AB fueselage. Painting and detailing the fueselage interior should be a nice change as the small parts are noticeable.
First I’ll weather the interior with Tamiya Master Weatherine Sets, then some painting and finally assembling the fueselage halves. This turned out really good. Nice clean strong bonds with a great looking set of the interior.
Your friend, Toshi
No worries, Tosh.Hope the Mrs is doing better.
Yes, at this point we are now waiting for Mrs.Toshi’s Medicaid to clear and except the PET MRI procedure. So it’s just a matter of a waiting game for now. Oh, well. Thank you for asking as well as your concern for Mrs. Toshi.
Your friend, Toshi
Hope things go well for Mrs. Toshi!
The B-25 is looking good. [Y]
Thank you Gamera! Ihave the fueselage together at this point. Thank you for everything.
Your friend, Toshi
Here are some progressions of the build. Notice the weathering in the fueselage, my 2 year old grandson and I worked on that. I think he did a pretty good job as my helper.
The other half of the fueselage.
There is no gaps in the fueselage. There is only the need to take care of the seams.
Good that no gaps appeared in the fueslage. I always had a slight mis-alignment at the bombbay.
Hope that the gaps between the engine narcells and the wing won’t be a problem.

Looking very good so far… can’t wait to see the rest of this build.

Yes my friend scottrc, no gaps and just the seams that need sanding of. I have yet to advance to the engine nacelles but I do know when I do, like you, there will be some issues to overcome. I noticed that every time engine nacelles are in a build ie: P-38 lightning, things become a putty and sanding issues. Well, we will see what happens from this point. Thank you for the heads up as well as always supporting my threads.
Thank you satiable. Your support is very important in my builds. The enthusiasm in your comment is so exciting for me, in that it makes me want to build more kits. lol!
