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??

Love those detail shots!

saramos, Now thats what I'm talking about! nice thread that is!

Can't have a bomber without a pin-up! You can tell I'm thinking waaay to far ahead!!
My plans should arrive tomorrow!

Here's a couple more


Scott

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.

The photos I posted here were in large inline format. I've removed them and reposted a couple of posts down.

Scott

I don't know why the photos posted the way they did. I've had some problems with photo uploads lately.

Scott

Inspiration for you - pictures of the Doolittle Raiders I found on the net.

Best regards

Jason

Taken at the Gathering of Corsairs:

I took pictures and a walkaround video of the B-25 "Axis Nightmare" (including bomb bay, cockpit, etc), but since you are on dial-up it would not be worth it to download. Do you have highspeed access anywhere where you can download it?

Been there done that and I saved it all.

BTW, I have a bare bones Ziroli B-25 looking for a new home.

More eye candy

Willey - do you plan doing a build thread of your model?

EF, probably not a complete build thread, but will post pictures here & there throughout the build. I'll keep them here on this thread thou.

I received the plans today from ziroli, very nice prints - 4 sheets total

The plans are very nice. I have a set.

I'll be watching this thread...I fall in the "I'm gunna build one-one day" category.

You plan on getting a kit cut or doing it yourself?

Lets try again.

Scott

I'm in the middle of building a Ziroli 101" B-25.

Using G-26s for power and Robart retracts.

If your into B-25s, A must have good ol' movie is "30 seconds over Tokyo" ( was made during the war and alot more accurate than Pearl harbor)

Guy's I think WE ALL have something good going here, 332 hits in less than 24hrs!! Let's load it up and really giv'em something to look at!!!! keep that info coming!!
