Thirty years :-clap Long term preparation :-ok

It's not exactly the right interior color, either, but don't tell anyone....... ;) I'm building this just for the fun of it.

Sall, this is a typical Monogram kit from that era, with pretty nice molded in detail, at least enough to make it "busy" looking if you wish to build an out-of-the-box kit. Some of the boxes and fire extinguishers are quite flat and scratchbuilt/resin/photoetch parts would be a plus, but it is a fairly relaxing model to build as-is.

In between projects for the next LLL magazine I managed to get primer on the seams of the Mitchell. I was surprised that I didn't have more voids to re-apply filler to, and this thing has a LOT of gaps at the wing-to-fuselage joint and around the bottom of the nacelle-to-wing junctions. A bit of filler, some more primer, rescribing some panel lines and it's off to the camouflage shop.

I've had a few minutes extra to devote to the Mitchell. All the seams are now filled and primed and the cowlings are being fitted. The nose piece is taking a bit of extra "bodywork" to repair some areas where I didn't do such a good job the first time.

It's been a long time since this got any attention on my bench. Neutral grey was mixed and in the airbrush for a different project so the undersides got camouflaged today. Perhaps more next week.

Never dead, but sometimes in hibernation!

Hibernation... Some of my kits are knowing that too...

Nice return, Scott!
