As i was a young boy i bought an airfix willys jeep in 1:24.As i opened the box the axles were missing.I brought it (after the tears had dried) back to the model shop.
I swore no more airfix kits.
Looks very good so far ,Augie.Looking forward to see the camo!!I know you can do it 🙂

Christian Meyerhoff

16 October 2012, 19:44
Markus Kutsch The Plastic Bench
@Mike
Lol 🙂
16 October 2012, 19:55
Augie

16 October 2012, 20:42
Augie
So probably toxic lol
16 October 2012, 20:46
Christian Meyerhoff
Well I was looking at the several tin cans arround the fuselage halves. They are all green?!? But anyway nice start on this big bird!
17 October 2012, 05:47
Augie
Oo hehe yeah they are... I think i have about 40 differnt greens now
17 October 2012, 10:46
Holger Kranich
I didnt knew that Airfix is doing enamels! Nice engine, so far!
17 October 2012, 11:14
Augie
Was holly.... I suspect that can is older than me 🙂
17 October 2012, 13:39
Holger Kranich
I though have Revellcans from my childhood but they are all not older than me!🙂
17 October 2012, 13:48
Augie
Hehe i have some humbrol authentic colour pots too... Good paints. Great coverage... Toxic as hell
17 October 2012, 14:35
Holger Kranich
You need a workingsuite, gloves and a mask to paint with them?😢
17 October 2012, 14:48
Markus Kutsch The Plastic Bench
Olive green and black are my favourite colors 🙂
17 October 2012, 15:12
Christian Meyerhoff
@Markus: Surprise, surprise! 🙂
17 October 2012, 17:24
Augie
Well boys, Some progress pics of the painting the insides....

Vitor Costa
may i give one opinion?
18 October 2012, 22:13
Augie
of course vitor..
18 October 2012, 22:16
Augie
ok started on a nacelle.. and about 200g of weight
22 October 2012, 18:04
Augie
Both nacelles done.... 600 grammes aught to be enough you think?
22 October 2012, 20:42
Christian Meyerhoff
600g seems to be a lot! Be careful with the landing gear, it might break.
23 October 2012, 12:23
Augie
Metal gear... Should handle it
23 October 2012, 13:15
Christian Meyerhoff
Hope the best. Lot of lead in it.
23 October 2012, 13:16
Augie
yeah, i didnt want a tail sitter.... so loaded the front of the engine nacelles with lead shot
23 October 2012, 19:26
Augie
Piccies of the first 6 .50's.. these are the eduard brassin ones i will be using to replace all kit ones.
25 October 2012, 18:41
Christian Meyerhoff
These guns look very convincing! I will stay tuned on this build! Looking very nice so far! So make the best out of it!
25 October 2012, 18:53
Augie

28 October 2012, 17:39
Augie
thanks frank 🙂 as it happens.. yes the bomb compartment will be open. hopefully will be ready to close the fuselage half's soon
28 October 2012, 17:45
Aghis Barberopoulos
Augie making a plane without jet engines ? You surprise me again 🙂
I like very much the guns, the wiring detail and the interior painting.
28 October 2012, 18:39
Augie
Lol thank you Aghis. yeah thought i would show i can do the prop birds like the rest of you😉 i'm enjoying it too
28 October 2012, 18:56
Mike Kryza

28 October 2012, 19:19
Augie

28 October 2012, 19:22
Mike Kryza

28 October 2012, 19:23
Augie

28 October 2012, 19:27
Mike Kryza
You do it...:-D
28 October 2012, 19:33
Frank Krause
@Augie: Supplier for plasticards?

What about here? modellbau-koenig.de/..05mm_i290_9450_0.htm
28 October 2012, 21:22
Augie
Frank 🙂 perfect.... i should have just asked you all along
28 October 2012, 21:29
Augie
So i have a week off.. time to get some more on the B-25 done.. as you can see.. scratch details into the tail gunners area. No seat supplied in kit and no chutes.

Nose compartment is coming along, need to get more details into it, otherwise it will look very dull through the large glass nose.
29 October 2012, 14:01
Christian Meyerhoff
Hi Augie! You are making great progress on your B-25. This model will come out very nice. Liked this build from the day you started it. Happy Modelling!
29 October 2012, 19:32
Augie
thanks christian.. and a further update uploaded
29 October 2012, 20:54
Augie
ready to close up the halfs.. this should be fun
29 October 2012, 23:43
Augie
So.. wings painted.. for colour testing.. looks ok to me,
30 October 2012, 12:10
Frank Krause
To me, too!
30 October 2012, 18:11
Markus Kutsch The Plastic Bench
Iam allways suprised what you can do with the brush.Looks more than OK.Very well done ,Augie.
30 October 2012, 19:25
Augie
awww thanks Markus, its just well... more years than i care to mention of practice😉

and the right brush.. i use flat ones which help reduce brush marks.

have notices one mistake i made... i was thinning the paint with brush cleaner!!
30 October 2012, 19:42
Augie
Well, as you can see, I've been a busy girl.. the front compartment now looks lot busier.. and actually useful

fuselage together.. wings on.. and enough weight in nose 🙂

Wilfried Bogaerts
The girl who builds faster than its shadow...
1 November 2012, 22:35
Augie
thanks willy.. long as it looks good too
1 November 2012, 22:38
Frank Krause
@Wilfried: So you mean, we should call Augie "Lucky L"augie" now...😉
@Augie: That's high speed quality... A superb mix! 🙂
1 November 2012, 22:51
Augie
thanks frank 🙂 i am glad its still quality
1 November 2012, 23:10
Augie
Update as to where it is.. its sitting drying.. from about 4 coats of future.
downside of the authentic colors.. they pickup fingermarks like you wouldn't believe.

So.. Going to look at another kit.. while it drys.. new project coming up
2 November 2012, 14:43
Adrian LR
Great paintwork!
2 November 2012, 14:47

2 November 2012, 23:49
Frank Krause

3 November 2012, 06:03
Bill Spargo
Looking good Augie, the ammo belts will add realism. i like the detail in the nose.
4 November 2012, 10:31
Markus Kutsch The Plastic Bench
Coooooooll .Very good.Almost unbelieveable for brush Painting.
4 November 2012, 10:37
Acki
The goddess of brush painting strikes again.
4 November 2012, 10:53
Augie
Thanks Guys 🙂

@Bill: Ironically, you can hardly see the belts in the rear turret.. but looks good what you can see 🙂
@Markus: Its the multiple coats of Future that help disguise brush marks😉

@Acki: Acki, you have me blushing again... I don't think i'm a goddess, just well practiced 🙂
4 November 2012, 13:50
Augie
well Gents.. decals are done, just need to weather her
4 November 2012, 15:53
Frank Krause
Speed modeller Augie😉

- again a very good job! She's a beauty already. The final result will surely be a pleasure to explore!

Don't forget to take a lot of pictures from all angles!
4 November 2012, 17:41
Augie
Hey frank,

Dont worry i'll get piccies from all angles for you guys. These were just to show how it looks at the moment 🙂
4 November 2012, 17:44
Wilfried Bogaerts
🙂 Mean Mitchell !

Me like pic 26, nice angle ! 🙂
4 November 2012, 18:09
Augie
Thanks Willy 🙂
4 November 2012, 18:20
Dirk Heyer
Wow, great colour choice! Don`t know why, but let me say, you have an unerring flair of colour schemes!
I like your Russian Lady. What the sentence says in the translation???
The details you have done are amazing. Sadly all your tricky work is hidden inside..
You have to look for male Pin Up`s.. HaHaHaHa...
Really a nice work and as I find you`re getting better and better. Both thumps up!
4 November 2012, 18:37
Augie
🙂 thanks Dirk, I enjoy ones that are not the usual..

its been a fun build, not going to over do the weathering on this on.. just a little
maybe the next one i will do a male pin up on 😉
4 November 2012, 18:55
Dirk Heyer
But you did some nice colour modulation on both fuselage parts inside, I`ve seen!
So, this way is possible too on surface details, if you like! 🙂 And as a just for fun project it is an amazing model you did.
My question again, do you know what says the sentence in russian language painted on your Russian Lady?
Will be difficult to find some male pin up`s.
🙂 🙂 🙂

Augie
Hi Dirk,

Sorry i missed the question first time.
The nose writing is "roslavl?skiy" which is for the town called Roslavl, which resides in the Roslavlsky disctrict in the Smolensk Oblast.
4 November 2012, 19:28
Bill Gilman
Wonderful work, Augie! I wonder if she has the name of town on her because the folks who live there raised the money to buy the plane?
4 November 2012, 19:31
Augie
Hey Bill,
She was supplied under lend-lease, so not sure..
I think that was her home base
4 November 2012, 20:01
Augie
and thanks Bill, she's been a pleasure to build
4 November 2012, 20:44
Sherif Sharmy
Fantastic Augie. Well done. Sorry i am off for a while as my painting booth is too big to fit in. I have now my modelling table but have to paint somewhere else....................in the balcony for example. With the new flat we got in 2011, my modelling room shrunk to about 1/3 so i have to make with what i have got although the flat is larger. I will be modelling soon as i cleared everything now.
4 November 2012, 21:26
Augie
Thanks Sherif 🙂 look forward to seeing your work soon
4 November 2012, 21:39
Vitor Costa

18 December 2012, 08:45
Augie

18 December 2012, 18:51
Dirk Heyer
I agree with Markus,
an unconventional paintsheme, a beautyful aircraft in combination with fine craftmanship! (sry, craftwomanship)
🙂
21 December 2012, 06:55
Augie

21 December 2012, 23:46
Bill Gilman
Wasn't it the Mitchellvetsky in Russian service? 🙂
22 December 2012, 01:58
Augie
Well Boys.. Its done.. repaired after its fall to the floor..
12 May 2013, 13:31
Frank Krause
Great, Augie! There's nothing to see that it is repaired. Looks like built straight away without any issues. 👍
But... when I look at the last picture especially at the front wheel... Hope you secured your bomber from moving forward...😉
12 May 2013, 13:45
Augie
Lol yes.. it got moved back after the picture.
12 May 2013, 13:52
Frank Krause
😭 Puuuh..., I was sweating blood, sweat and tears... 👍 Now I'm relieved. 😄
12 May 2013, 13:55
Maarten Kruizenga
love the colour scheme, very nice
12 May 2013, 13:57
Augie
🙂 Yeah i have to move them around to get piccies frank.. else they obscure each other.

thanks Maarten 🙂 i like the Russian effect on the B-25
