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.

I also had issues with the Undercarriage snapping. I had to drill and pin the main landing gear struts. Painted with Gunze throughout, with Oil weathering Peter
