italeri b 25 mitchell 1 72 review
3.4k. Male. Location:The Planet Thanet of Kent. FAA, Battle of Britain, mainly things with a fan on the front. Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) Latest off the bench is the Italeri /Accurate Miniature's B-25 Mitchell in the markings of 320 Squadron. Decals by Dutch Decals. The kit is showing it's age a little and is bit of a beast size wise.Hasegawa B-25J Mitchell Plastic Model Airplane Kit 1/72 Scale #00546. Tamiya Nishikisuisen Rufe Plastic Model Airplane Kit 1/48 Scale #61017. Tamiya Douglas A-1J Skyraider USAF Attack Aircraft Plastic Model Airplane Kit 1/48 Scale #61073. Academy PBY5A Black Cat Aircraft Plastic Model Airplane Kit 1/72 Scale #12487. This was not a difficult build and at the time it was the best B-25 kit in the model world. The paint I used was the old Poly-s acrylic, gloss is the Future floor wax and the dull coat is again from Polly-S. The engine stain/exhaust is from using oil pastel and dry brush the rest evenly. Looking through my stash, I heard Italeri's B-58 Hustler singing to me. The B-58 was one of those designs (along with the Century series of fighters) that formed the core of my love for aircraft modeling. As a pre-teen in the early 1960s I remember building the Lindberg kit in 1/128 scale, and later their 1/64 scale version. Led by Lt. Col. James H. “Jimmy” Doolittle and laden with extra fuel, 500-pound bombs, and incendiary clusters, 16 North American B-25 Mitchell bombers lumbered 500 feet along the wooden flight deck of the 19,900-ton Yorktown-class aircraft carrier USS Hornet (CV-8) early on Saturday, April 18, 1942, and took off into a stiff wind.
