Great detail to look at Dean, especially at that scale.

Update…cockpit sub assembly is finished…
Here is where it goes…just sitting in place for now.
What is interesting, is the tunnel that goes under the pilots to the nose gunner area. That portion of the fuselage will be built and added after the halves are joined.
Now I am building the bomb bay…

Thank you Frank
Thanks Russ!
Update…bomb bay finished…
Moving to the next two sub assemblies…upper gunners station, and then rear gunners station.

Current progress…bomb bay assembly and cockpit assembly with front landing gear are glued in.
Now working on the gun assemblies for the rear and upper guns. As soon as I get the rear gun assembly finished, I can join the fuselage halves. The upper gun can be installed later. Once the fuselage is assembled I can start on the wings and engines.

I use Revell liquid model glue. Except on clear pieces, like canopies, where I use PVA glue like Weldbond. It won’t melt the plastic and fog it up, also it dries clear.
Looks absolutely great, wonderful painting
Thank you Adi. There is a lot to detail and I fear most of it will be hard to see once the fuselage is joined. But maybe you can see some of it due to all of the windows.
Thanks!
Update…tail gun assembly completed…
That is in between the fuselage halves…
So then I could join the halves, and then I added the tail assembly…
So more work on the fuselage prior to starting the wings and engines…

I ordered some upgraded motors for the B-25 and they are very detailed!
Here is the real motor for reference…
Painting them is going to be a lot of work, but worth it. Looking forward to getting them.

Oh man you're going to love that! And so will we. I did not know you could get aftermarket upgrades like that, pretty cool.
You can really put all your skills to work on those engines, Dean.

Yes there are some nice aftermarket engines. But costly, almost as much as the model itself! But I think it’s going to make a big difference, like on my F7F Tigercat. But these are even more detailed with wires!
Yes sir, I’m excited about making them look real!
Oh…as a side note. These incredible upgraded engines are coming from Ukraine. Given the current war with Russia, I don’t know how that will affect delivery. They have more important things to be concerned with. So I will remain patient and hope for the best. Meanwhile I will be moving forward with the build leaving the engines and covers for last.
