1/72 Hasegawa B-25h 1 (Finished)

[destrozas.]

the b- 25h was the improved version of the b- 25g which demonstrated their great projection in the seas of the Pacific, but also demonstrated its shortcomings , which led to the manufacture of 1000 units of b- 25h , had very obvious modifications and more difficult other of view were engined with P & W R -2600 13 , of 1700 hp at full capacity.

armed with a 75 mm light gun T13E1 and 14 12.7 mm machine guns . to lighten the weight of the apparatus and its unnecessary service the position of gunner / bomber and the passenger that was converted into the navigator / gunner, radio- telegraph was taken to the "back " after the hold of weapons , the gunner tail was overhauled , the fuselage was lengthened , and placed a semi automatic guided servo to operate the guns back .

The bombing system utilizing the pilot was integrated into the nose gun camera and viewing by the N2B ( something like a HUD ) that had laid on the control panel , the flight instruments and other planchs also were redesigned to be use only by a person , whether it was more or less what was the plane , I can devote to give me more precise data as the thickness is first added to the shields but I think it is of very little relevance to delve into data well .

the plane that I do or rather will try to emulate in my attempt to replicate is the 43-4357 , is one of the first b- 25h that operated on European soil in 1943 direct factory came to the base of Faggio , was doing differents raits where the Adriatic which highlights in the attack on the barracks on the shores Yugoslav Germans in January 1944 as it was his last mission in Europe and was posted to India and fatigued lashed where the Japanese army from Burma , South Chinese, Gulf of Bengal but his greatest achievement was in the attack railway bridge near mung do , near the border with China and India , destroying the train traveling on the bridge where he was the chief of the Japanese army in Burma , survived the war but just his days as scrap .

Indeed it does...a nice lookin' kit with some good details outta the box Dez - you gonna be adding anything of yer own to the Mitch?

of course, clear that he will do some added inside as I've been watching and has to do some things and reposition others and I'm thinking about him in the landing gear bays

[destrozas.]

More progress, paint inside the base color.









I make chains feeding machine guns

[wbill76]

Looking good des! Nice work on the interior bits.

[destrozas.]

Thanks will,

we go with the latest developments, and the extras that I have done, book leyendoe l b-25h see that side gunners seats were in the right and not the left, the detachment and stuck in position, in would place radio equipment that was taken out of the rear of the cockpit because there was placed the ammunition of 75mm cannon and the upper turret, I made several more extras such as floor plate and pulleys restraint cables side of ammo, also I made the tail gunner seat reusing one I came in the C-377 of academy

the radio





the floor plate and pulleys



interior finished







the seat, the seat, I see you have to settle unfinished seat, I took pictures over but went very bad, last night i was doing long-exposure photos and do not change the parameters, when I saw it was already assembled and closed the fuselage. in position not seen.



cast error and mine, the nose is somewhat larger compared fuselage, which should have checked before gluing the fuselage which I did not so now I had one very high stair between the two parts, so that to reduce and caulk, I gave him a hand cyano not to cover the side armor and power leveling



After letting it dry and sand sand finally gave him a hand of Vallejo plastic putty to cover small imperfections sanding, I gave him a green interior light hand as he had as a primer.

thanks bill.

My've always liked the B-25, I wish I could make my collection of all versions, but of course that's a pretty penny and I like more I get very very expensive and have to save for months to buy it (that is a behemoth 1/32)

[wbill76]

No question there! A 1/32 B-25 takes up plenty of space.

[destrozas.]

more progress on the plane, with Klear for the decals, full details of the painting are lost





decals and weathering.











the weathering I made ​​thinking on the plane after a mission where stains AA explosions, aircraft left very blackened

[deafpanzer]

It is really looking great... still hoping we can see some painted details inside thru the windows.

I had fun WHILE it lasted, the plane a great cast, certainly repeat with "J" also Hase when I can buy it now this year started badly economically low income sales plummeted, so to save when not there.
