Started on the B-25 last night. Went after the major mods first, jet engine, dorsal turret, and the jump door.

By dumb luck I had some A-10 parts in my spares box. Turns out a 1:72 warthog engine fits perfect in a 1:48 Whites Cyclone. For the "exhaust" I simply carved away the shape seen on the movie bomber. The engine cone is a drop tank tip.

Next the jump door. The gun window just about in the same place, so a bit of cutting and some filler solved this mod.

Now the dorsal turret. Used the turret bubble to trace the new location. Then hacked away.
