Joel_W Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 It's looking awesome, Joel :D/> Really coming together now :)/> Janne, Thanks for stopping by and having a look. Glad you like how she's turning out. I'm finally in the home stretch, and can actually see the finish line. Of course A haven't even started on the base as yet. It's hard to start it when you haven't even bought it as yet. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kahunaminor Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Nice work Joel, Forgive me if you've already stated it but what are you intending to use as the base, I assume carrier deck but ready made or diy? Regards, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Regards, Kent, Actually, I've been procrastinating about exactly what type of base. Eduard makes a outstanding WW11 wooden carrier deck base, but I'm having difficulty locating one here in the states, as ordering it from them will cost more then the base. I'm leaning towards a base with it's trim in gloss black, and the top a map of Japan sealed in Urethane. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Slick95, Thanks so much for stopping by, and appreciating my work today. The paint scheme and weathering really wasn't all that hard. I was just fortunate that it came out so well.

Joel_W Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) Well the B-25B build is finally finished, at least the actual model is. I just got around to buying the base and test fitting the two together. Looks pretty darn good especially after more then 5 months on my workbench, but then again I'm kind of biased, so I'll leave that decision to all of you. I thought I'd present the Mitchell to you now, and once I finally finish the base (which ever one I decide on), I'll share a few pictures of that as well. To those of you that have been with me for the full journey, thanks so much for staying the course, it's much appreciated. BTW, for all of you Photobucket users like myself, these 17 pictures uploaded in record time without a single issue. go figure !!
