Okay, I'll join the list of completed builds. Ready for take off. Just finished this nice kit. If it only would be in 1/48 .... But for Russell I made an exception.
I will also upload 2 of these pics in the gallery and soon there will be more photos in my Assembly Line thread ....
NA B-25 J Mitchell, 38. BG, Japan 1945 - Revell 1/72





Happy modelling and good luck to all who haven't finished yet
Torsten

Torsten, beautiful B-25. Love the nose art.

Best wishes,

Ian

Well done, Torsten. A very welcome B-25 finish.

Very nice B-25! Torsten,

II have sprayed the missiles white and added the stripes with decals not sure if I prefer decals or painting for the stripes I guess they are a pain either way.

Cheers Rob.

Thanks for your comments, guys! Yes, I think it went quite well, though I'm a total newbie in 1/72.


Ian, that's why I said, I wish it would be in 1/48. Is there any B-25 J on the market with this nose art in that scale?
On the weekend I try to shoot some more photos of this kit and post them in my Assembly Line thread.

Torsten

Great work Torsten and good choise of noseart. I have finished my entry for this campaign already on the weekend, but didnt have time to make pictures yet. Its nice to see that so many builds in this campaign are coming into completion.

Got the bombs mounted on the one Ter I have and mounted the sidewinder missiles and glued the pylon to the wing. I then finished painting the seats and made harnesses with tape. All that is left now is the canopy and on that note some bad news I can not find the front section of the canopy I know I had it as I was adding masking tape to it at one point, I certainly hope that I can find it.

OK, I found it.

Cheers Rob.

Rob, its clear to see how much work your putting into your project. Well done, and I'm glad you found your forward canopy.

Rob-----The Rhino looks really good. I like your work with the stripes on the ordnance. Glad you found your canopy glass too!

Regards,


Ian

Thanks Guys!

Surprising enough I found it in the box.

Cheers Rob.

Progress update, Airfix 1/72 BAC TSR2.

Your TSR 2 is coming along very well, Lap. Remember, two weeks to go.

Just about done!

I masked and painted the canopy, now all that is left is to fix a couple of areas where the mask leaked and install the actuators for the open canopy sections.

Cheers Rob.

I also managed to get some flat black drops on the plane while painting the seats. patching those up now.

Cheers Rob.

Rob--------Rats!!!!!! Hope u get it touched up OK. The build really looks good.

Regards,

Ian

Ian,
The touch ups are turning out OK, in the second pick the tan is already done.

Cheers Rob.

ok, here i am back again with a further update on part 2 of this build for me, the 280 is actually built one little change i made to the kit parts was to replace the front gear doors with parts cut from a beer tin, and i have to say drinking beer is a great way to get modelling materials!


the kit part next to my scratchbuilt part, you can see how thick the plastic actually is, in real life i think it would be about 5 inches thick!


the two parts with mounting straps


how she looks right now, with the new gear doors in place


just needs decals, then a matt coat and a very light weather and its finished!

It looks like there will be another fine model put into the gallery, Phil, to compliment one of yours and the thirteen others that are already there.

Nice work on the scratch gear doors.

Hmm, I dont have any more space left in the gallery, so I put all the pictures in this separate toppic :

That JU-88 is indeed a beautiful build, Naseby. Now you need to get a couple of photos into the Gallery .

Thats what I was trying to say. I dont have any space left. To be precise:
"Disk space remaining for your account: 225kb (230317 bytes)".

Naseby,
I don't think photos in the campaign gallery count against your allotment.

Cheers Rob.

Hi everyone - some excellent work been happening I see!

I have a small update kind of connected to this campaign. As I am sure you will remember, way back in February when we started this campaign for Russell, Fred very kindly undertook the task of distributing Russell's kit stash. I was lucky enough to receive 2 kits, a 1/72 Gloster Javelin (see gallery), and the 1/200 Cyber Hobby Avro Vulcan B2. I have just finished the Vulcan for the Big Bad Bombers campaign:



I thought I would post it here as well, seeing as it was one of Russell's kits, and also to take the opportunity to acknowledge Fred's efforts in getting those kits out all over the world. I think we can safely say that this campaign and all Fred's efforts have done Russell proud, as well as showing what a great little worldwide model making community we have here. Cheers Everybody!

A wonderfully brilliant effort on the Vulcan, Lee.
I think that since it was Russell's kit originally, you should pop a couple of photo's of the finished model into our gallery as well.

Unfortunately they do count this is why I use photobucket for all my progress shots and the Kitmaker gallery for any finished campaign photos.

The only way to make some space is to either delete older images or resize images to say 800x600 pixels before you upload them in the future.
