North American B-25G Mitchell

For once it's not just a way to justify a wip shot. I just really like the process of building a plane, the mere idea of an assembly line. Plus it gives me a reason to build in yellow ^^

I originally wanted to build a very large diorama and therefore built three of those, but I dreamed too big for now, and also wanted to focus on other projects, less brick consuming.

 

Anyway, as some of you may already have figured, it was inspired by this famous picture. But I don't like glass nose variant so much, the G & H variants with the short nose are definitely my favorites

 

 

The nose was really the hardest part, I'm still not intirely satisfied with it, but this build has been sitting around for 6 month now, so I think it's time upload ;p

In the end the scaffolding type base was a bit tricky, but really most enjoyable to build.

 

Note : I'll upload a complete plane in the future, I just need to gather some more parts.

But really this is not intended as some teasing of a final entire plane. That being said, please enjoy !
