RE: KMP B-25?
Talked with Matt at KMP said it "should" be available by NOV/DEC....You know how things go with overseas shipping, development etc....Said that the B-25 and OV-10 should arrive at almost the same time...

Thats just the retracts their using on the prototype, the production version comes with Spring Air type gear with oleo struts from what I've been told.
I just called KMP and they said they lost their oleo strut vender a short time back so the inproved retracts come with "wire struts" and air support system.
Due to start shipping bombers Feb. 25.

RE: KMP B-25?
Talked to Andrew Kondor of KMP a couple of days a go. The good news is they are on there way. Everyone is correct on the end of Feb the first shipment should be here with the orders going out and arriving the first week of Mar. Problem is they are all spoken for. Said if I put my name in right now then around the middle of the summer hopefully. So I asked him for some shops that get them in the first shipment so he gave me some ones to call. Lucky for me the local HS has one on order so I put my name on it. Looks like everyone wants one. I have been looking at it for about 6 monthes. If all goes well I will have it in Mar and start on it.

RE: KMP B-25?
Hi all. You folks are in for a treat before the people over here in the UK. You are first for a shipment, then I think us. I have one at the moment as the YT International test sample to put together and photo for the box label. I can say that it goes together wonderfully well, although the colour was out on the one I got. It will be having two RCV 90CD motors, since I was so happy with the one in my Hurricane. There seems to be a fair bit of confusion about the name of the company that actually makes them. It isn't KMP, or YT International, but a company called ESM. The kits they produce will be marketed as ESM kits pretty soon, distributed by KMP, Cheetah, YT International and others worldwide.
The model straight out of the box looks superb, good mouldings, neat covering, bits that fit etc. As I said before, the colour was out on the one I have, a bit too grass green, but the finish was good enough just to dust the right colour over the top, with very little weight increase.
Picked the boxes up from the warehouse just over a week ago, and have just about finished the assembly and paintwork. No gear in yet as the important thing was to get the photos for the box. Probably will all be ready to go though by the time the box photos are taken, as it has taken far less time to put together than I'd allowed for ( doesn't happen that way round too often does it?!!!! )
Here's some pics, Ian

Ian,
Thanks for the info and pictures, I'm near the top on the order list (I think) having ordered the middle of last year and can't wait to get her on my work table. I just took delivery of a NIB RCV 91 CD today from RCU and it looks like I'll have to get another, up until today I was undecided as to which engines to use.
Gota find scale aluminum wheels for the oleo's, maybe I'll convert mine to a "Gun nose" version, is there room for a bomb bay?
Please keep us posted and how bout a few more pics?
Chuck
