Aussie Aussie Aussie. :) My 1/48 Amt RAAF Db-7 Boston
Stationed in New Guinea. It passed through Archerfield airport in Brisbane, where I live 5 mins from now.
Nice to do a local boy. Lol. More RAAF subjects to come.
Hope you like.
Replacement engine cowlings and trop filters for the RAAF and Red Roo decals.
11 additional images. Click to enlarge.
Wow, great job, that's one you don't see too often. Bring on more RAAF!
Thanks mate. Yeah, I'm doing a Boomerang soon. 🙂
I actually know what that is. looking forward to it.
Nicely done, Paul...did you really need all that lead weight in the nose, or was it a case of "..better to have too much than not enough..." ?
Thank you. I think I went a little overboard. But I'd rather have too much than not enough. Probably one less needed.
Nice job. As Robert mentioned, not a subject we see too often. Oddly, at the recent East of England show a guy walked by with one of these kits under his arm. I remarked at the time that not many Bostons are seen on the tables (not sure if it was AMT).
Thank you. I've sat in two of them at Amberley here in Brisbane Australia. It's a thing of Beatty in my opinion. 🙂 There should be more. Of them Lol.
Great work Paul. She looks amazing. Hope to see an RAAF Beaufighter soon.
I'm doing one now. 🙂
Overall Green camo and weathered to perfection please! 😉
Ok. Lol. It is overall foilage green...just still looking for the decals. Lol. Has a kangaroo on the tail. Eagle strike sheet. Hard to find.But I'll get it. 🙂
Can't wait to see the final result. Good luck with your build!
Nice job Paul, one of my favorite subjects. I've built 4 of them to date with 2 more to go.
Awesome. 🙂 And thank you.
Oi, oi, oi. Nice looking bird, Paul.
Thanks mate. 🙂
The Boston was a very good aircraft that performed very well in several roles. Somehow it has been forgotten by modellers. I'm working on one myself.
Thanks for posting.
Looking forward to seeing it. 🙂 Thank you.
Sweet looking Aussie bird
Thank you.
Paul, did you do anything about the wierd tread pattern on the models tires?
An underrated aircraft, which served thru the war in many roles, generally successfully.
Just sanded them a little. 🙂
Great looking Boston, and love seeing RAAF colors/markings.
I also love the Boston/Havoc. Built one and need to build at least another. Great book by a Havoc pilot in the Pacific theater: Wreaking Havoc
Thank you. I've headed of that book. It sounds great. I'm doing more RAAF subjects. Beaufighter, and later a Boomerang. Hopefully a P40 and Wirraway after. 🙂
Nice looking and a little unusual, thanks for sharing it with us, your enthusiasm for the subject really shows through.
Thank you. 🙂
Nice!
