Airfix 1/72 B-25 Mitchell

Here's one of the kits I currently have in the pipeline.


Not able to use the decals, so I'll have to come up with a solution later. Might steal from a newer kit in the stash.

Great job on that old kit, especially adding some of those missing interior details!

I have the more recent retooled 1/72 one and I can see how much they improved it

I prefer to try to use the decals in these old kits if I can, even if they're a bit yellow and brittle. I put the sheet on the windowsill in the sun for a few hours to remove some of the yellowness first.

SO I sprayed the model with Future Floor Wax in preparation for decals, but forgot to paint the anti-glare panels. The acrylic olive drab reacted to the floor wax and crackled. I'm calling it "weathering".

Way to improvise, adapt, and overcome.

That wraps up this weekend's work.

That's a beer (or your favorite beverage) well earned!
