Been working on this but as usual I'm terrible about remembering pictures. My first attempt at an Eduard kit with the extra photo etch and resin bells and whistles. This kit uses Hasegawa plastic, with Eduards extras and the astronomical decal selection. Haven't decided which plane this one will be yet.

Finally getting a handle on the obscene amount of photo etch included with this thing. Screwed some of it up, but that was to be expected. Not something I do alot of. Either way, still kind of cool to add some dimension to the cockpit. Unfortunately most of it won't be visible. This is getting close to the closing up stage. If I get some time, perhaps even tonight.

Looking good Kyle 👍

Thanks Guy! Evidently all three of my photos didn't upload. But got it closed up and ready for canopies and masking. Just trying to decide which airplane to build. LOL!

The Eduard-egawa build continues. Glazing in, some of it temporarily. Masking to begin soon. Engines with Photo etch assembled and dry fit onto nacelles. Brassin Wheels and tires painted up. Getting close to getting some primer on it. Fit is pretty solid overall but a little filling and sanding will be necessary.

Looking great Kyle. The B-25 is such a cool looking bomber. I love twin tail designs for some reason. 👍

Kyle DeHart
Thank you James! I do as well, as you may be able to tell from my build choices. Lol I also love the wing shape of the B-25.

James C
Hell yeah, I've got another Ventura planned as well as a C-45, Me-110, Lancaster and B-25. All twin tails and in 1/48 scale 😉

Sometimes the cat dictates which project gets worked on. 🤦🏻‍♂️😂 Evidently it won't be this one today.

love the cat

Kyle DeHart
I love her too, but I swear she hasn't moved off that box since I've taken this photo. 😂 I've been busy at work but at some point I'm going to need the masks that are in that box! LOL!

they have their own ideas, no doubt about it. both the B-25 and her look really good

What a lovely saboteur btw...👍

Welcome! And thank you Daniel, she is certainly very regal. It's their house, we're just living in it. Lol

I think the cat is claiming the model as her own.

Kyle DeHart
I think you're right Chris!!

Anyway I forgot to add photos during taping and painting and all that. Added a photo of what the Eduard manual says it should look like. This eduard kit has so many great options with a nice history paragraph on each airplane. I chose the one I did because Joseph Heller flew in it and I liked the unique drab over aluminum camo with the ID markings left in bare metal. Thought it looked cool, but all of the decal options are great.

Now we have the paint down. Just a few spots to touch up and then I'll gloss coat for decals.

You guys thought I'd forgotten about the B-25 didn't you? I sort of had. Lol. Anyways I'm calling this one done and sticking it on the shelf. Had some issues with decals that didn't have any carrier film whatsoever, and since they were "stencils" the entire letter wouldn't even hold together just separated into tiny pieces. But that's ok. I still enjoyed the kit and I'm pretty happy with it for my 4th airplane. Hasegawa plastic was nice and the Eduard stuff added some nice details. Other than that I just added some light staining and scratching weathering. Nothing too crazy. Fun build.

A plane this time kyle
Looking great
Love the look of that plane
I bought one of the same plane in 1/32
Partly built whed a lot of other things
Decals were missing
And I dident think I would enjoy finishing what someone else started so I sold it
But yes this is a butiful plane and a great job you have done on it

Nicely done mate despite the issues you had with the decals 👍

Nice built, this plane isn't easy to handle.
Are they hasegawa decals? If so the problems are common to me as well.
15 November 2022, 00:29
Kyle DeHart
Thank you Chan! Decals are Eduard printings, I believe. They were thin and excellent. Just some of them totally lacked any carrier film at all. A bit frustrating when you go to slide an 8 off and it turns into many pieces of 8. Lol. But it's ok, I still enjoyed the build.

Bernd Grün
Nice build, Kyle. Congrats!

Kyle DeHart
Thank you very much Bernd!!

I see, I've experienced this situation too, but luckily that was a vehicle, as a result there were much fewer decals 😅. It's joyful watching you build the WWII bombers, no doubt!

Real nice work on that nose cone. I know it's a bear. I did Revell's version a while back.

Kyle DeHart
Thanks again Chan! I'm out of bombers in stash at the moment so the next airplane I decide to crack into will be a fighter, rather than a bomber.

Robert, thank you so much! Post up some pictures of yours! Love to see it.

Missed this one first time 'round…..looks like you got a meano Mitchell there!

Kyle DeHart
Thanks Andy! Planes are a struggle for me. I still have no idea what I'm doing with aircraft but I still try to build one every now and then. Especially propeller driven ones. I have only 1 jet in my stash.
