phantom Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Time for my other B-25. I am going to re-do the one in the left of the photo below. I made many mistakes the first time including using the wrong variety of B-25. So.......redo it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Rat Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Call me Mr. Nostalgia, but I think that absolutely anything looks good in that paint scheme! 12 pennies in the nose. I remember when I could buy a model for ten times that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Yep, It was a classy scheme all right. Kind of like it in the black instead of the silver. Hopefully THIS time the red does not lift off with the tape. But red is easier to fix then the silver. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Looks like the red needs fixing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AX 365 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Looks good Shawn. What about spraying the red over the silver instead of over white next time? That's what I do when I spray the red on my Sabre builds; MM Red enamel over Alaclad II. I've only ever a had a problem once with tape lifting the Alclad and that was because of a boner I pulled with the primer. Of course, that's presuming you Alclad and MM enamels.

jfmajor60 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Dude when do you eat n' sleep? I'll be lucky to get one kit done for this build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Mike, this is the best luck I have had with red. At least it was repairable without noticing. Silver always seems to lift on me and I never get the repair right. Actually this time I ran out of Alcald. So I mixed a couple different model master silver that I have laying in the paint bin. Seems to have worked. As for sleep, sure could use some. Working 8 out of 9 days , 12 hour shifts right now. Day 8 tomorrow. Then off and hope to finish Wednesday.

Barneydhc82 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Very nicely done Mitchell. The '50s era was the best time for paint schemes and the VIP transports were kept immaculately clean which makes modelling them so much easier. Keep up the good work Shawn Barney http://www.barneysairforce.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
