1/48 Accurate Miniatures B-25 C/D "Dirty Dora"

It's been a while since I updated this blog. I have been making progress on Dora and I should be finished soon. Major construction work is complete and I'm into the painting and weathering phase. I totally forgot to take progress pics. At this point I've applied various shades of OD Green, some paint chipping and some of the decals. I was a little intimidated by the decals but they went on well. The only problem I had was when the coat of Future clouded on one of the wings when the decal set was applied. This was probably due to me not waiting long enough for the Future coat to dry. However the guys over at Aeroscale were able to give me some advise which solved my problem - basically I just had to reapply some Future and the blemish disappeared.

Here's the problem on the wing.
A little Future and ta-da it is gone!
Now to just get off my butt and finish her off.
