Phil please get a time stamp with the unbuilt kit! Unless we know it's not started before the start date I can't accept this as a entry. Sorry...

Re: CTA Entry - Phil - Revell B-25J Gun Nose
Add weight to the nose if you don't wish to use the open rear boarding hatch with the step ladder.
The markings are awesome!
Sunday Punch, 44-86698, was purchased with funds provided by the K-25 workers of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, during the war. Here is a photo before the face was added:
Restoration of the markings seen here:
Here is a restored aircraft with the Sunday Punch markings (click on images to see the Google Image Search with which they were found):
Yes, it isn't a shark but I like her!

Re: CTA Entry - Phil - Revell B-25J Gun Nose
Thanks MP!
I'll be surprised if I do finish this one anyways!! :yipee
The paint method will most certainly slow me right up
Thanks for the heads up on the prob areas guys.
Sunday Punch version so NMF Kiwigunner
Saul - freaking awesome photos Thank You for posting those up.
Great reference photos of the NMF which gives me some ideas how I will attempt to do the finish.
Yep already thought about adding nose weight Saul! I get this strange Deja Vu feeling about tail draggers - TA154, Meteor F1, Me262 U4, Do335A somehow drawn to buy them!!

Re: CTA Entry - Phil - Revell B-25J Gun Nose
ok here is the interior parts almost ready for the chromate green, i did a bit more cleaning up of some bad injector pin marks, there is alot of flash on parts as well
some curious date stamps
dry fitted to check dihedral
wing parts not fully cleaned up yet
checking gaps
that tail piece does sit flush I didn't notice it popped up before I took the pic
more soon, and a nice enhancement on the way for this bird!

Re: CTA Entry - Phil - Revell B-25J Gun Nose
A small progress report, interior parts painted,detailing to come but won't be that much as it won't be seen once all together.
One bad thing about this kit are the gun barrels, which is a main feature for this "Gun Nose" version,as you can see.
The tail gun,
Now for some Magic!!
A much better look than the smooth thin plastic
The enhancements turned up today!

Re: CTA Entry - Phil - Revell B-25J Gun Nose
Been grinding away with small bits, painting parts (not worth putting any pics of this up yet as I have parts half done all over the place !!) Lots of test fitting, this one needs it! fit generally isn't too bad but it does need care.
Tonight I attacked the nose guns - alignment special here!
as you can see that nose cone needs some work!
With it being covered by a large decal I'm thinking of smoothing it down once it's glued in place, you wont see any detail on the plastic anyway
I would have liked the option of fitting the barrels after the decals but this is impossible the way the kit goes together, this is going to be very tricky when the times comes for decals.
Revell has the nosecone called out to be painted white for the decal colours , so I will paint the section white before i glue the cone on around the barrels, I can always touch up the white paint with a brush then mask this section off.
