AN here its bein fitted just as well no shakes hit lol
Boatmans 1/200 scale USS HORNET CV8 BUILD AN LIGHTS for the Doolittle raid on japan
- Thread starter boatman
- Start date
AN here ive used humbroll maskoll to mask up the top gun turret glass an the rear gun turret before i spray the spruses in light grey an it took quite a bit of prep before i sprayed as i had to drill out the tiny holes for the undercart to fit in an the engine nacels as they dint fit propeberl as i learnt quite abit on them small planes on how not to build them lol so this time im prepared
AN WINGS sprayed as they will be matt light grey on the underside an a sort of a dark matt green on the top sufaces
AN SPRAYED Fusealarge an wings in both pics but im dreading tryyin to glue these togeather oh dear
AN Now its time to try an glue this model togeather after them small planes i learned how not to build thes planes so hopefully these B25 WILL be easier to build but we will see

HI GUYS well ive finshed the 1st of 16 B25 an this was a better build than them small planes but still very fragile an made a few mistakes on it as i treid to do a little wheathering on it with some lighter green on the darker green but oh what a miustake that was as the paint crazed but ill live with it as from a a small distsane its hardly noticseably but the decals are very good but got the shakes so ive given up for today anyway some pics on the carrier of the 1st exspeirmental B25 BUT I MUST DO BETTER
