B-25C "Dirty Dora", 345th Bomb Group,Nadzab, New Guinea,1944

Accurate Minatures kit OOB, using the supplied masks and decals to do "Dora". "Dirty Dora" was apparently named after a woman met on leave by the pilot who had a 'colourful' sense of language. The woman in question did get to see the aircraft after the scheme was applied, and was singly unimpressed.
 
Painted with Gunze Acrylic for the Olive Drab / Neutral Grey, weathered with Mig Oils, True Details acrylic resins and pastels.

Finished today for the 'Actung Panzer GB' over on Britmodeller, the Bronco Humber Armoured Car Mk II  OOB . This is a lovely kit but not for the faint hearted. It doesn't have a full interior, it's a complete armoured car - chassis, control linkages, engine, gear change and lots of gear inside. Painted with AK Interactive Light Stone ( From their Caunter Set ), Tamiya paints for the rest of the cammo, and Vallejo for the details. Weathered with a full range of AK Interactive / Ammo / Mig potions and pigments.
