yeah, it did, but its actually the next thing on the table. I had to get a club project finished, so now that's done, the Mitchel should get MUCH more attention! My next step is to scratch the dorsal turret.Manny1943 wrote:Hmmmm...looks like this MOJO got pushed to the back-burner...

At the risk of showing my age............first thing I thought of when you asked your question was a quote by Lucy about Snoopy in the Halloween special : "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown."CallSignOWL wrote:Speaking of, whatever happened to Hammer?Sprue-ce Goose wrote:

but I digress............
I've always presumed that HvH might be living under a government supplied, assumed identity ................perhaps one which has nothing to do with old Monogram kits- for his own protection from the anti-Monogram mob . "yeahright:
I do not know why HvH stopped posting or if he is OK............
I just hope the VA didn't do him in.

Re: Glutton for Punishment - B-25 Mitchell
i can never work on this when I want! bah.
but Ive got an update (finally!)
kit only included a little clear dome and twigs sticking out of it to represent the top turret. No Bueno. So, here Ive scratched some better detail
![Image](http://i1024.photobucket.com/albums/y309/callsignOWL/Bomber%20Command/DSCN9837_zpsc07fcbb6.jpg)
Made the little tunnel under the pit for the nose gunner/bombardier, but that left a little space to add....you guessed it! some nose weight! Little split sinkers did the trick for me. just kind of--mooshed--them to shape
![Image](http://i1024.photobucket.com/albums/y309/callsignOWL/Bomber%20Command/DSCN9838_zpsa0f787ae.jpg)
here is the turret area all together
![Image](http://i1024.photobucket.com/albums/y309/callsignOWL/Bomber%20Command/DSCN9841_zpse88f36ea.jpg)
I decided internal detail was finished, so Off to the paint shop!! Here is a quick black coat applied. Serves as a primer/pre-shade. wasnt too worried about full coverage
![Image](http://i1024.photobucket.com/albums/y309/callsignOWL/Bomber%20Command/DSCN9842_zps1401b6c4.jpg)
Ive let that sit over night, so more painting today!
