Interior is now finished. Did take some time, but I didn't really face any major problems. I ultimately left out the photoetched trap doors "lining", which was a pain during the dry fitting of the two fuselage halves. Dry fitting was complicated due to the sub-assemblies, which have to be perfectly placed to have a good fit.

Thanks ! I'm nearly there ! I just need to glue the final photo-etched piece and the pitot tube before applying the final matte varnish coat. I hope that some of the interior will still be visible from the outside ! This kit was a lot harder for a beginner like me than what I anticipated, especialy with the minuscule photoetched parts ! Learned a lot along the way !

As for the interior, I had the chance to stand inside a B-25 last summer, I guess it helps. It was definitely an amazing experience !

I don't know how some people work with such minuscule photo etch parts - we should get some ship modelers to give us hints because some of those builds have a ton of photo etch - and many of them equally tiny!

All the small pieces are now on. I probably did bump into each of them and broke a few , but here we are !

Demasking is on its way. Unfortunately, most of the interior is completely hidden, exept for the tail gunner part. Hopefully some of the cockpit will be visible.

You make it difficult to resist getting a B-25 kit.

Thank you ! The B-25 is for sure a very attractive subject ! This kit is quite good (despite a few flaws),I would say « go and get one » 😃
