Not sure if this has been done before (if it has please let me know and we'll close this one) but if not I think this could be very helpful to all B-25 Fans, Builders & "I'm gunna build one-one day" type guy
Plus be just "down right interesting."
Why spend hours and hours (as I have, corse I'm stuck on dialup I'm out in the boonies) looking here on RCU and on the www? when you can find it all right here!!
B-25 MISSON: Post: "your" B-25 project, advertise your building thread here, any tips/advice that you want to share, flying tips(you know how those twins can be), motors used for what kit, paint schemes, links, pictures, movies & stories, "if you have it! - please post it!"
This thread is not intended in anyway to take away from any other thread - but to make it SIMPLE for those who are looking for information regarding the B-25 Mitchell We all want to thank you for your support!
1st question I have: I will soon be starting to build a Ziroli 101" B-25J, (BY THE WAY-Thanks!! Nick for the great plans and what you have done for this hobby!!) HHMMMMmmm???????for a moment lets think about this "what if Nick would have taken up "golf or something", the scale model world would be "Glass Half Full", thanks from all of us Nick!.
OK back to my question: I would like to find some B-25 movies that are on DVD to watch, gets the juices flowing and makes the build alot more interesting I think, any suggestions out there????????? Pearl Harbor has some great footage. few more would be nice, some oldies would be great!
2nd question: I know this has been asked a ton of times but I have to ask, what engines should I buy, I would like to keep them inside the cowl if possible, weight will more in likely be on the upper end, planning a full house, glass & paint, med. detail.
Can anybody post a how to or a thread for the bomb drop mech. that works well??
Dad, Uncle Farren (B-25 Radio Operator), Olsen & Greg Hahn thank you for your help & for giving me the inspiration to build the B-25!

Can't have a bomber without a pin-up! You can tell I'm thinking waaay to far ahead!! My plans should arrive tomorrow!
Thanks for posting the great pin-up art. Actually, I'm kinda thinking maybe it should be in its very own thread - but lets see what happens here. BTW, great idea. I'm flip flopping over which B-25 arf to get: the TF-B-25 or the H9 B-25.
