Official FlightLine 1600mm B-25J Mitchell PNP Thread

Man this screams for a gunship mod…. G or H . What do you think sanexup?

A 3D printed nose with cannons! I'm now just learning the differences but both the G and H models look mean.

[Evan D]

Wouldn't surprise me if Flightline doesn't make the two noses themselves a la B-24.

Hey Y'all, looking at the Page 1 forum pictures it appears as if all the 'clear' parts are "once again" more translucent, than transparent.

I tried polishing my Corsair canopy glass and even bought a second one hoping to 'get lucky' though not the case.

Even 91% IP Alcohol fogs over some OEM clear parts.

Does anyone know of a way to polish or 'clear up' the fog in OEM clear parts?

Inquisitively, LB

Cmon LB. Did you ever fly a jet when you were in the service, where the canopy wasn’t all scratched up and nasty? AirForce living must have been better than USMC ops.

[T- Elbert]

I have notice from the videos that some on Wesley’s pre production aircraft have canopies that are not as clear but the production ones seem fine …. Cougar was a good example of this.

[Grossman56]

There are certainly tons of choices. I'm not sure if I have room for a new airplane without selling one first, but I would like to have this one. For me, what struck a chord was doing one of the Doolittle Raiders, maybe Doolittle's plane, or Ruptured Duck with pilot Ted Lawson. One of my favorite aviation stories was this daring raid.

Here's a pic of a model of the Doolittle B 25.

As you can see, to make it authentic, you'd have to remove the tail gunner blister, install broom sticks as tail guns relocate the upper turret and remove the side gun blisters. Not saying it can't be done especially by DaveGee, but a lot of work. The results would be cool, especially if she flew on the anniversary of the raid. We were fortunate to have Doolittle's co pilot at the 4th of July parade a few years ago, with a B 25 doing a low pass over main street. We also had warbirds visit us on numerous occasions.

Alpha is long gone....

Oh Wow, that's news to me, who took his place??

Definitely is doable, but a lot of work. I did this to my FSK B-25. Removing the side gun blisters and waist guns is a pain, but it’s the only way to get a proper B-25B.

Converting the FMS B-25 to a B-25B does take some effort, but it is well worth it. Here is my "Ruptured Duck from the Doolittle Raid, along with her sister ships of my B-25 fleet.

No one…

Not necessarily true. While I can't nor won't go into details, all I can say is that we have fortified our team with some excellent hires in recent months. In the words of one of our owners and I paraphrase..."The next 24 months is going to make a lot of customers happy."

[Evan D]

No one specifically as we knew him. The things Alpha did that we were exposed to are not done by one specific person. You do some of it, Tom does too, James also…

Hoping we get some attention of the the heli front.. New airplanes, tanks, cars, and boats every year, but hardly a new aircraft from Roban in the last 5 years. Some promising small helis, but nothing really above 450s..

Why do they call you Bomber Bob? Fantastic collection!

BTL, are your B-17's the older Freewing bird? Regardless, what a great collection, Sir. Best, LB

No LB. The B-17s are all the 1875mm models Thanks, Bob

[Aros]

I had a couple of those 1875's. Great model and flyer.

[Elbee]

borntoolate Aros The 1875mm is HK, right? And currently available.

Not that I need one, I have the old Freewing NIB, but cannot find much information except a couple old videos that don't tell me much.

Figure it will just need everything redone, but par for the course with me.

In the mean and the near future, I am looking forward to the New Flightline B-25 Mitchell and already thinking about some modifications.

A Model C/D most likely at this point, so I'll need the "Spare Parts" to be available soon Motion RC.

[Aros]

Yes sir HK. The only drawback (besides the flimsy stock props) are the panel lines. They dug too deep a trench for those. Otherwise, beauty!
