Airfix B25
« on: February 19, 2021, 02:30:21 PM »
I started this model while I was on holiday about 2 years ago, its going to be 'straight out of the box'.
No wiring in this one.

plenty of detail in this one Andy. I made the very old Airfix one a long time ago.

That should be easier without the wiring.

Hi Chris,
I think this is a C/D version looking at the fuselage set up.
The 'J' had the turret mounted forward behind the cockpit.
Cheers,
Kevin
I hope my next is always better

Sorry for leaving you in the dark Chaps,
This is the more resent Airfix offering.
I believe Meremodeller has built a few of these.
Cheers.

A bit more progress.  ;D
The seat harnesses where made from strips of sticky foil tape, which conforms well to the seats.

The good weather will soon put the breaks on my modeling.  I intend to revamp the workshop as well.

Coming on!  That's a big hole it has in the Port side, just aft of the wing?
Is there any information about it in the destructions?

The holes in the side are for clear plastic inserts to cover the different types of aircraft. In this case, the RAF version has small round windows instead of waist guns.
