Tony T Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 First plane I've built in a while...Enjoyed the build! (Used lots of fishing weights in the nose!) More pictures here...comments/questions welcomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Nice! A few years ago the warbird Panchito flew so low over my house that I thought all the windows were gonna rattle right out of the walls. (Used lots of fishing weights in the nose!) You can cut down on the nose weight on this kit by taking a Dremel to the inside of everything aft of the main gear--fuselage, stabilizer, fins. That much weight in the nose will eventually bend your landing gear. Been there done that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I've got a soft spot for B-25's and this is a good representation of one. Nice job Tony! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Buckaroo Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 That is some really fine work , great job on the fuse seam , the canopy and turrent masking is top notch. Hope to see some similar builds in the future ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Thanks, guys...will keep an eye on the landing gear...I put just enough weight to keep it from tail-sitting! No masking on the turret or canopies...inside and out done freehand with a narrow brush...and a light hand with a toothpick to fix any, er, misses!!

mustang1989 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Heya Tony! If you ever have that problem again with worries about too much weight on landing gear, you can always try metal landing gear available here: http://store.spruebrothers.com/category_s/1916.htm?searching=Y&sort=7&cat=1916&show=100&page=1&brand=Scale%20Aircraft%20Conversions Edited February 18, 2015 by mustang1989 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Thanks, Joe...I don't think I paid that much for the kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) I hear you on that! Some of those add-ons get pretty pricey! lol Edited February 19, 2015 by mustang1989 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
