1/72 B-25J Mitchell Solid Nose

by Hasegawa

$25.14 USD $31.42 USD

Description

This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.

Hasegawa's third release in their B-25 series is the solid nose "gunship" version of the B-25J. A new nose piece and staggered machine gun inserts are included, with the barrels being arranged in a "rack" of four guns each that must be installed before adding the nose cap. It would probably be best to apply the nose with white glue first, paint and decal, then pop the nose off, install the guns and re-install the nose. While more care must be taken then on a certain older kit with individual gun barrels, it will be a LOT easier to make sure all the guns are pointing in the same direction when you are done!

Markings are included for the natural-metal "Sunday Punch" of the 82nd BS, 12th BG and an olive drab and neutral gray aircraft of the 822nd BS, 38th BG. This aircraft has a large black panther head on each side of the nose.

Assembly Guide

Skill Level 3:

Basic Skills Required

Kits rated as skill level 3 are traditional model kits that require all basic modeling skills to complete. This includes cutting parts from runners and trimming or sanding them prior to use, assembling them with cement, and the use of paint to complete them.

To properly complete a level 3 kit, you should have at least a basic set of modeling supplies, including plastic nippers, a hobby knife, files and/or sandpaper, plastic cement, instant (cyanoacrylate) cement (for resin, soft-vinyl or metal parts), painting supplies including brushes, paint, thinner and masking tape, tweezers and possibly decal softener for applying decals to difficult areas.

Kits in this class are not suitable for small children unless there is complete parental supervision. Adults who have never before completed a plastic model kit may want to read one of the many excellent modeling guides available at most hobby shops before trying to build one of these kits.

Skill level 3 kits include a very large portion of our catalog. Most traditional plastic model kits fall into this category.

Cement Required

This item requries the use of cement (glue) to complete. For injection-plastic kits, use the weld-type clear cement specifically designed for use on styrene plastic. For some smaller parts, you may wish to use instant type (cyanoacrylate) glue. For resin, white metal, soft vinyl and photo-etched materials, the use of instant type cement is strongly recommended.

A SAFETY NOTE ABOUT INSTANT CEMENT

Parents and all modelers should note that instant cement (cyanoacrylate) bonds skin instantly. While this in itself is not harmful, forcibly attempting to pull the skin apart can tear the skin and cause injury. If you or your child happens to inadvertenly glue themselves with instant cement, don't pull, but use remover for instant cement, or nail polish remover to dissolve the bond instead.

Painting Required

This model kit or accessory must be painted in order to achieve a realistic appearance.

While there are slight differences depending on the country you live in, there are generally three types of paint available for modeling: Acrylic, Enamel and Lacquer. Their characteristics are described below.
