it is arrived...my B25mitchel

Okay, so we have to wait a bit longer.
Still not going to be all sour grapes about the delay.

Just found something else to do to prep for the B-25's arrival. Looking at the flight and assembly videos I realized that the cowlings are short the correct number of exhaust stacks for a wright twin cyclone R-2600-92 14 cylinder radial!.

So a 3D printer will be used to make additional exhaust stacks to be glued in the proper locations around the cowling.
👍

And some proper wheel hubs too

Out for dilivery tomorrow 3-8-2023😃😃to my adress

Thanks for the update Tom!

We have a small delay with the USA shipment of B-25. The shipment is in the USA but US Customs flagged it for a random inspection. The inspection will likely take another 7 to 10 days so I'm guessing the B-25 will arrive between August 7th and August 14th. I wish I could nail it down better but it is impossible to figure out how long an inspection will take and when the shipment can hop on a train. I think US Customs just want to see the B-25 first. If you see US Customs agents posing for pictures with the B-25 on Instagram and Facebook in the next few days, you know what happened. 😁 Sorry for the delay. I'd go there and get the shipment myself if it helped!

On the bright side, the B-25 arrived today at our EU location and is in stock !

[Evan D]

Okay, it's now early August...

"The first shipment of the B-25s will arrive early August, 2023. "

Spad Driver . I, too, am looking forward to 'doin' the Happy Dance; Mid-August, right?. Look forward to pix of your progress. Best, LB

So the Wallsburg Warbird Works has ordered a random servo motion generator from a source that shall remain anonymous!.

( only Chris Wolf at the rcgeek.com knows the true source!.)

Having re-kitted enough planes to supply our shop with sufficient servos to operate the two separate sevos operated by the random motion generator.
The crew here is thinking about a way to move the tail guns and maybe even the side guns as well. Won't be up and down but side to side.
just brain storming with all three active brain cells firing along. (I hope.)
Been adding moves to the Happy Dance for when we finally receive our shipment notification!.

[Evan D]

Now early August

i sold my old b25 about 10 yrs ago i saw it a few months later and the guy had put a satellite rx in the top turret seems the gunner would have to be tiny to fit in the top turrets seat of the new B25. if anyone finds a good gunner bust let me know

[Gilatrout]

Evan D Hmmm, could be. Best, LB

Anyone planning on making the top turret movable?

[SteelRain]

Motion is usually on time or early. And they do post what they know, which almost no one else does. While I'm disappointed that they are now from late July to very late July, that's just a few days, a week, in reality.

Yeah I know, it's just the bratty and impatient child in me wanting to open and see my Christmas presents early. I guess the arrival yesterday of the RCGeeks random servo generator I plan on using for the movement of the upper turret has me excited, there's nothing like working bomb bay doors and turrets to really set a model off.

[Spad Driver]

So we have to wait for Christmas in July for another week or so!.
gives us time to plan our modifications, paint schemes and set up our hangers for the new arrival.
had not even dreamed of this aircraft a month ago, so why be bummed if I'm forced to dream and scheme for few days longer.
Besides it'll take Callie at Callie@callie-graphics.com time to make my markings and send them out anyway.
Motionrc.com, you make my day!...👍🛫
