    They definitely look great in aluminum! Lots of work though. Refinished my LX in Aluminum, and lost it to an RX failure last year. I’ve got another LX to refinish, but the Flightline model would have made the job much easier.

    Seems like another fantastic model to make all kinds of mods. Look forward to them all.

    I broke my semi serious vow to not buy any more large-ish ARFs this year and ordered the B-25J. One of my favorite warbirds of all time. Will have to send a couple of less loved models to new homes……:)

    Nice size, Excellent feature set that kind of justifies the price. Multiple liveries included, including my personal fave, Heavenly Body. Appears set to be the “best” of any foam B-25 in looks and accuracy.

    Hopefully the 6s power system will provide better than scale performance.

    I predict one of the the skilled CAD guys around the forums will do a gun nose soon, for folks to print. Add some fiberglass inside and even PLA will work.

    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!

    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.

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

    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..

    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…
