Default B-25 Mitchell Threads,Docs,PaintSchemes,Movies&More!!!!---PIN-UPS TOO!

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",[X(][X(] 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!
