The third week was spent detailing the nose section. There was a lack of details in the kit parts so I ended up using some Eduard Brassin resin guns and some photo etch to super detail this area. After I finished the nose I started researching the tail gunner position. The kit only has a twin gun mount to stick out the back. I will be making the entire section using photo etch and scratch building. I will be using some more Eduard Brassin resin guns and will need to make a tarp that covers the opening of the tail. The reference photos show this was used to keep sand and dirt out of the gun assembly. I will detail how I make the tarp when I get to that point.
You can all the photos and details from the start in the build log at: 1/48 PBJ-1D – B-25 Mitchell
