That looks like a really nice build! It would fit in the "Show your teeth" campagin as well! Any more pictures?

I hope you enjoyed the finer art of aircraft modelling, and that we'll see more of your work!

Cheers!

I really like the transition from light to olive drab

1st attempt??!! You look like you've been masking canopies forever... :-) . Great job on them - I'm always struggling there. Great looking B-25. Is it the Revell/Monogram kit? I can't wait to see what you'll be turning out after a couple more...keep posting those pics...

Hi GI_Babycakes!

Nice one! It would indeed have been a nice entry for the "Teeth" Campaign, but since it is for the "Bombs Away" one... Doh!
Anyway it looks great! Is it 1/72 or 1/48 scale? My only complain would be about the pictures as they are to small. It's very frustrating not to see more...

thanks to all for the comments - it's the 1/48 scale Monogram B-25H Mitchell. The kit was old and decals were crackled when I tried to apply them. Sadly, I had to get reproductions. I have a P-40 built for the Show Your Teeth campaign. It, too, needs replacement decals.

Make sure you get the right sized decals for your 1/32 P40.... There are a lot of 1/48th decals available so don't get too excited and get the wrong set :-)

That does look like a very nice build there G.I Babycakes.
Just to echo what the others have said, can we have some more photos please.
Great job, can't wait to see your P-40.

Looks great !!!!! I have to agree with the others though about the pictures, would have been nice if they were larger and more of them.
What paint did you use for the OD?
