I like the dry brushing you applied on all the edges. Looks great.
Bernard E. Hackett, Jr. said 7 years, 11 months ago:

It's a shame all that interior detail isn't going to be seen once the fuselage is closed up.

I'm sure (knowing how meticulous you are in your modeling) that you probably don't need any reference photos, but I took these some time back and thought they may be of some small help.
Tolga ULGUR said 7 years, 11 months ago:

Thanks for the pictures Craig. They look beautiful.
But This plane should be another B-25C/D possibly painted with the markings of Tondelayo.after restoration. Because this has early type cowlings. Tondelayo has late type cowlings
Here are some reference pictures.

I have decided to use Quickboost engines
Engine cowlings are not so good and accurate (Although the name of the company is Accurate miniatures)
Engine cowlings replaced by Dmolds corrected resin cowlings.

This is progressing much quicker than the B-26 Tolga, I have the AM B-25 Doolittle kit, which I would love to start soon, though not planned this year. I may change my mind seeing yours. Building the Monogram "G" so many years ago which if I remember wasn't so labor intensive. Looks like the AM kit looks to be as well.
Tolga ULGUR said 7 years, 3 months ago:

Yes this is not like Monogram s Marauder.

But On the fuselages halves some unwilling streching issues existing due to soft plastic.

Fitting of the some glass nose parts to the fuselage is very poor.. Thanks God, the glass nose of the Tondelayo is painted to the fuselage color.

Good luck on your B-25B Doolittle project.

On the other hand AM gives same C/D fuselage parts for the B version. Both are same (B and C/D versions) on AM boxes. But in reality the placement of the some side windows are different on B version. Fyi.
