Three of a kind: Dutch Mitchells

The start 

The Revell strafer 

Very nicely detailed, a pity you don't see much of it when the kit is finished 

The first one finished! A lovely kit. 

Masking, masking, masking...... 

The Mitchell is beginning to look like a real plane. A first layer of primer applied and all clear parts have been masked and painted. It needs an awful lot of lead to prevent it from tail-sitting! 

This is a picture I found on the internet of the original Mitchell, N5-230, third in the row 

The second Mitchell is finished! She just started up her right engine. 

The third one under construction. This time with a very good example: the Mitchell in the Marshall museum in Overloon. I added some new windows and changed the shape of the others. 

This Mitchell flew with 320 Dutch RAF squadron and was sold to the Netherlands 

It flew with the MLD and ended its life outside in the Warmuseum in Overloon  

Fortunately its now inside in its first livery. 

I'm going to build it as the MLD version, until I find another Italeri kit, to complete my collection 

 

This is one of the reasons why I didn't want to buy an airbrush: lot's of masking to do! But now I know it is really worth while! 

 

The final model, together with the two other Mitchells: project finished!
