Part I | Part II | Part III | PART IV The end is in sight! It’s amazing to think I first started this kit more than five months ago…and that it’s been back on the bench for more than two. So far, it’s been BUILT, PAINTED, and MARKED. Now comes the home stretch of weathering and seeing to all those…

1/32 HK Models B-25J Mitchell – Part III – Markings
Part I | Part II | PART III | Part IV In Part I it was built. In Part II, it was painted. Now, it’s time to give the B-25 its proper markings. The B-25 I’m building is “Bottoms Up II” of the 340th Bomb Group. There aren’t very many markings out there (yet) for the 1/32 B-25, but thankfully “Bottoms…
1/32 HK Models B-25J Mitchell – Part II – Paint
Part I | PART II | Part III | Part IV The big bomber build continues! In Part I, I picked up the pieces of a paused build and pushed through main assembly and paint prep. In Part II, it’s time to paint the beast!
1/32 HK Models B-25J Mitchell – Part I – Assembly
PART I | Part II | Part III | Part IV Rather than the usual breakdown of Cockpit, Assembly, Painting and so on, I’ve decided to break out the HK B-25 build chronologically. In part because it’s a restart, and in part because there’s so much going on with it, and with the various subassemblies, that it’d be torturous to jump…
On the Bench (Again): 1/32 HK Models B-25J Mitchell – “Bottoms Up II”
It feels weird to be writing this in early September, knowing that it won’t be published for perhaps a few months! So here’s the skinny. Back in May, I started in on HK Models’ absolutely massive 1/32 B-25J Mitchell. It’s hard to contemplate just how big this beast really is. Even the specs are misleading….
HK Models B-25J Mitchell Build Log, Pt. 1 – Internals
Now that I’ve started work on this monster of a B-25, I’ve come to realize there are basically two ways to approach the build. The first is to plan, plan, plan. There are so many subassemblies that need attention, and that all have to come together in a magic leap from one step to the…
Bombers of a Modest Size
I’ve only recently broken into HK Models’ massive 1/32 B-25J Mitchell, but I’ve already come to a realization. It’s friggin’ HUGE. You’re probably thinking, “thanks, Detective N.S. Sherlock”, but bear with me a moment. The size is both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, it’s gloriously awesome. It’s like having an M4…
On the Bench: 1/32 HK Models B-25J Mitchell
The North American B-25 Mitchell The North American B-25 Mitchell was a hard-ridden workhorse of World War II that gained instant fame in early 1942 as the plane that carried out the daring Doolittle Raid over Tokyo. I won’t bother recounting the versatile bomber’s history here – suffice to say it served in a variety…
1/32 HK Models B-25J Mitchell – First Look Review
I recently joined the review team over at Scale Plastic & Rail. While that won’t impact my posts here, from time to time you’ll likely see posts announcing a new review I’ve published over there. The first of these is for that crazy-anticipated kit, HK Model’s new B-25J Mitchell. You can check the review out…
