Though someone would be interested in my B-25 conversion. I decided to get rid of the front greenhouse canopy and build a strafing B-25. First off I started gluing together some balsa blocks to form the new nose. Then got out the razor plane and started shaping the nose. Talk about alot of shavings!! Finally got the basic shape down and then started sanding to get the final shape. After I was happy with the shape I covered the nose with ultracote, not to impressed with the color match. Most of it will be covered with nose art. I attached a dowel in the lower portion of the nose and installed some magnets in the upper. Now I just waiting on some guns for the nose and decals.
