Airfix B25

[Red Lancer]

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.

Thanks Andy. So it's a "model" thing, not the real aircraft.

Hi H,
A model of a real aircraft, in the hands of Andy.

Hello all, back from the dead....
Got the workshop finished, finally. I'm itching to get on with the Lancaster but I thought I would blow the cobwebs off by finishing the B25.
Well its in colour.
Yes its a tail sitter...
Good to be back,
Andy.

If it's tailsitting Andy can you get weight in the engine nacelle and front wheelbay?

You'll be finishing this before you continue with the Lancaster will you Andy?

Hi Andy,
Looking good mate.
Have you considered some magnets in the nosewheel, to help balance the model?
Put one in the nosewheel, and another in the base position.
It looks like it works on the tinternet'
Cheers,
Bigkev

Mighty Lancer sells those small magnets.

If you reverse the polarity you may even get it flying above the ground

Thanks all, good advice. I'm going to use both methods.

Yes I will.

Stickers ON. 
A dash of weathering next, I think.
Thanks all.

I have my eye on this kit Andy - once I can sneak off to the Hardware Shop without DCOS in tow!  For some reason I never had a Mitchell in my collection and I've always been fascinated by ventral turrets.  Pay day soon!!!

Looks good!
