Revell 1:48 B25J Mitchell

I really enjoyed putting this model together. After building models when I was a kid, I decided to try my hand at it again in adulthood. I have never painted my models when I was a kid, so I wanted to do this with the new ones I was putting together. I had built another Revell 1:48 scale model before this, a P-51 Mustang. In all honesty, I botched that one, and should have completed a few more smaller ones before I attempted this one. It'll use a lot of paint and glue. It's quite big (maybe a foot and a half wingspan or so), so make sure you have enough room to put it (I hung it from the ceiling in my workshop). It took me a long time to complete, but most of that was painting honestly. I always build my models with the landing gears up. It was sort of difficult to do that with this model, as it was made to be built with the landing gears down. So I ended up with some uneven surfaces and gaps in the landing gear bay/cover areas. All and all I am very happy with this model. The B-25 Mitchell has to be one of the sexiest WWII bombers and it looks as such in my workshop.

Este modelo en particular me trae buenos recuerdos de mi infancia, ademas presenta un buen detalle con todo y que es un molde que tiene algo como 46 años. Gracias Amazon por estar dentro de su catálogo.

旧モノグラム金型製品で半世紀近い昔のキットですが、最近HKモデルからキットが出るまでは永く1/48スケール唯一のB-25Jとして貴重な存在でした。 古いキットなので筋彫りこそ凸モールドですが、プロポーションやディテールはなかなかの出来で、さすが名門メーカーのモノグラムと思えるキットです。 金型が相応にくたびれているのでパーツ嵌合は今ひとつですが、削り合わせやパテ盛り整形を心得ているモデラーなら問題ないでしょう。 よく輸入キットにもかかわらず、説明書が日本語ではないと文句を言うレビューを見掛けますが、輸入代理店は日本語説明書を入れる様な面倒かつコストのかかる事は普通しませんし、説明書は日本語でなければ嫌だという人は最初から輸入キットに手を出すべきではないでしょう。

Poor condition of injection moulded plastic, Transfers were so old they cracked when trying to adhere. Box looked like it had been knocked around in transport. Wont do this again buy local!!

Voll zufrieden 😃
