Jeroen Veen Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) Hello all, Mid december I got in touch with Martin, the owner of Wingscale, and he asked me to build one of the upcoming 1:32 B25's he's about to release. Today he is off to the toyfare in Germany and the model is on display there, so I had a couple of intensive weeks with this kit to get it finished in time. This is a preproduction model, so there were no etchings and no decals. All you see is in the box I got, nothing extra has been added with one exception: I asked Mal Mayfield of Miracle masks to cut me masks of a scheme that will be offered with decals. I'm convinced that masks work better in this scale and I'm pretty pleased with the result. I had a great time with this kit: detailed where it should be, great fit, accurate as far as I can tell (I'm not a B25 specialist) and a wonderful platform for superdetailing. I hope you enjoy the pics of the finished model, all comments welcome as usual! Happy modelling, Jeroen Note: Tony Bell was so kind to put all the WIP pics in his photobucket account: if you want to have a look: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v11/tbel...Veen/?start=all Edited February 6, 2011 by Jeroen Veen Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ro-Gar Hobbies Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Wow, that really looks impressive! I love the finished you achieved on it. I normally don't build 1/32 scale a/c, but after seeing yours, I might have to pick this kit up when it becomes available. Robert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gambler Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Jeroen, that is outstanding! I have been watching your progress on HS with this one, and I cannot believe how you can build with such quality in the timeframe you had, they certainly picked the right guy for the job, thats for sure. It turned out absolutetly first class! Cheer's, Jeff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ollie 17 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 For the size of it I say Wing Scale did a great job. Plus you did a super job of it as well. I can't wait to see there Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress that is what I want for my birthday this year. The month it is to be is the same month as my birthday what a nice deal that is. My wife told me I could get only one not all 12,731 of them like the real B-17 was made. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

petebuilt Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 That is a very good looking airplane model Jeroen. Impressive detailing I might add. That's cool that Martin asked you to build it to display at the show. It will certainly get some well deserved attention. Pete Brown Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Iron Man Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Great buildup for a very promising company. I'm saving my pennies for the 1/32 B-17G ;) My wife said I can display it on the dining room table>>>>>>>>NOT!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jeroen Veen Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Thanks everybody, for the kind words. I just added a link to the WIP pictures, I hope that is of some interest to you. Kind regards and happy modelling, Jeroen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jester292 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Your build looks great, but why did they need to include a tail prop? Couldn't a nose weight be added in with the kit for that price? How embarassing for them. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
