oldgoat63 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I'm going to be building the Monogram B-25J solid nose version, but I have a question about the armor plating outside of the cockpit. I have a marking sheet for the 345th BG. I noticed not only were the packet guns either removed or never present, but the pictures on the decal sheet are also void of the armor plating on the fuselage exterior. I see them in pictures of the G and H's but not on the J's. Am I seeing things? Did certain blocks of the J have the armor and some not. I'm not sure I want to remove them from the model. I'm afraid I'll butcher the model before I even get to step 1 on the directions. The butchering usually occurs by the time I start painting. Thanks, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigjugs Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) The armor was definitely applied to the gun nose J model, even if the side gun-packs were removed. Whether the armor was removed from your particular aircraft, you'd have to have a picture of the aircraft you are modeling. But I doubt it.

oldgoat63 Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 thanks for the pics they are really helpful, especially the one with the noticible outline of where the packet guns were once mounted. Thank you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
