Good designer, good recolorist, and good modeler! What else can I say?

Today it's been 80 years since Doolittle's attack on Metropolitan Japan in 1942. So I continued with the work with the B-25, redid the fuselage and the nose is a little difficult.











I hope make a nice repaint model.

It looks good - and historically appropriate!

It is looking good Péricles. Nice work so far.

Thank you my friends!

As life in Brazil is slowly getting back to normal, I went back to face-to-face work, which is a relief, but on the other hand, it took away from me an organization of time that allowed me to do extensive modeling activities.

Now I have it as it was before, just a few hours on some nights of the week and the weekend to work with model making.

I will try again to eliminate the situation of working on many projects at the same time to focus on one at a time.

I have at least 5 Scissors Models along the way that I intend to finish soon.

About the B-25 this particular example is the plane Nº 8 (serial 40-2242) that made a spectacular flight on the escape route, not landing in China but in Vladivostok in the then Soviet Union. This flight still has some questions that even today they are not resolved and there is a certain suspicion that the crew or part of them could be spies for the Soviet Union, but I leave the research to Don who is an expert in these matters.

We continued with the construction of our B-25B, starting with the wings that require some attention in preserving the cross section of the airfoil (it is recommended to have a plan or schematics of the plane to make these checks).





This model is a challenge among Bruno's models, this time I didn't use my traditional glue shims (see the construction of the Ki-21) preferring top glues, which requires extra care and good alignment.

With the construction of the nacelles and engines we did the general construction with the tail assembly, the turrets were also added, the dorsum tower requires special attention, I molded it in a metal baller with the proper diameter.









Updates soon!

Nice work Pericles. I'll be making Polish and maybe Russian reclors of this model.
