Sounds really good,well impressed. If possible if you don't mind could you send a picture of finished ship. Each B25 must take you a while?

That is some model boatman well done,one question if you don't mind. How to get your hull red looking so good. I have a spraycan of hull red for mine rather than airbrush because of the size of the hull. I think i would of had nightmares doing your hull. Once again great job tgere

AN YES Paulb the B25s took a few wks to build an i nearly lost it with them as the kit manufactuer made them in tiny kits made from glass plastic an they would not glue very well finshed the first one an a wheel just dropped off as bein glass plastic they are shiny an no good surface to glue to but after a build or two i found the best way to build them but yes i was at my wits end an really glad i was able to fininsh them
ATB SIR an thank you for your reply

WELL the hull red is just red car primer in a rattle can bought from a car shop as ive always painted my big R/C ships as built a near 9 feet long scratchbuilt model to sail of the USS NIMTIZ CVN 68 NUACLER AIRCRAFT CARRIER AN that big hull did take some sprayin used up 4 big rattle can of red car primer

Thanks for the welcome Geoff,my first build for years so its like starting over again buying all new gear etc. Just started my build so trying to be careful. I have seen some amazing builds on this forum so don't want to embarrass myself. Looking forward to learn as much as i can from you all

Hi Paul. Welcome aboard.

I know it's a faff, but I've seen several modellers who file off the moulded chains and replace them with real chain obtained from model boat suppliers. Not done it myself, but just a thought.
