I finished the upper gun turret assembly…
I’m waiting to put the glass on after I paint the frame.

B-25 update…
Built the main wings…
Then I test fit them on the fuselage…
I think I am going to finish the fuselage and everything that goes on it and add the wings afterwards. I can build them as sub assemblies to be glued on later. There will be no putty needed as the joint to the fuselage is excellent.

B-25 Update…
A lot of work on the fuselage assembly…
Paint, guns, etc…
I decided I wanted to paint it the sand color the aircraft stationed in North Africa were painted.
I will continue to add guns and canopy frames, etc. then I can add decals and clear coat. I will build the main wings as separate assemblies to be added to the fuselage later.

A. Nice color, Dean. And the seams came out very nice.
Regards, Peter
Thanks Peter
Yes, great color choice, one I've not seen on the B25.
Thanks Daniel, you normally see the olive drab and ocassionally the silver, but the sand for the North African squadron is not as common.
Like this photo, i will paint the leading edges black as shown...
Progress…
Mid windows and guns, cockpit canopy done. next will be the nose gunners canopy and the nose canopy…

Nose finished…was a small window at the bottom of the nose, the upper canopy and the nose canopy. The nose canopy has 4 guns that go thru it, and one mounted to the middle of it. That made assembly interesting…having to align and pass 4 guns through it at the same time, while trying not to knock off the center gun.
Now I can paint the black on the wing leading edges and add decals.
