Darn Elbee, I didn't get the email notification of your post and just saw it now. I saw that Callie had one so I ordered it and should have it next week. Thanks for the reply though. I don't know why I'm not getting email notifications when someone posts on threads I'm subscribed to. I have it set to notify me.. Thanks again!

Why yes, I do have a "Heavenly Body" decal.

PM me your vitals.

Does anyone have the light blue decal "Heavenly Body"?? I just need the script, not the picture of the girl. Thx

[Denniswpb]

I had this one made at Home Depot in flat, but I wished I had it made in eggshell. Not exact,but it was close enough and I was getting tired of running around. I sprayed the entire plane in this and put a coat of clear satin over it. Thanks!!

They can match from the 12 digit at the bottom.

I'm trying to match the Olive Drab paint for the B-25. Guys, I appreciate the advice in previous posts to go to Home Depot,Lowes, ACE, etc and ask them to do a paint match, I've been doing that for years but rarely does it come out really close. If you have found a paint match that's pretty "Dead Nuts On" then PLEASE post the paint formula from the sample jar! Just take a picture of it and share it. I hate reinventing the wheel and playing "let's try this one", if someone already has cracked the code. Thanks!!

Home Depot did a great job with mine. Unfortunately, the label has faded quite a bit. Probably should take a photo at time of purchase......

I used a satin base as that seemed closest to the OEM finish. If using flat base, try a satin top coat. It might come in better.

Mitchell Mob,

While researching my research for the B-25C "Desert Warrior", I ran across the 'Factory Markings & Finishes' data in one of my books, B-25 Mitchell the Ultimate Look, page 157.

6S or 2x4S? Just curious guys. I've been flying my B-25 on 6S since day one in August 20, 2023 and have enjoyed every flight. I do have a question though. Have any of you flying the B-25 ever flown it with 2 x 4S lipos? Flying on 6S, while lots of fun, doesn't always present as scale. I have never tried it and wanted to see if any of you have and if so, what was the result? I guess I'm too chicken to try it myself first . BTW, lots of you guys have done such fantastic work on your mods and repaints. They are all winners and so are you!

My gunship conversion in a fantasy livery...

[Aros]

Very nice! Well done.

"Flight" photos.

I detailed the top turret by using 1/32" chrome tape on the dome and sections of the bottom of a Diet Dr. Pepper aluminum can to make the slot shields.

[Charlee]

I wasn't going to detail the bomb bay doors until Davegee did his. I cut it out of .015 Evergreen plastic sheet and found a hole punch that was the right size (3/8"). The factory specs that I have for the interior colors for the B-25 specify that the doors remain nature aluminum. Dave, please check in. We haven't heard from you in a while.

[Grossman56]

Except for a few minor details, the conversion of the B-25J into a PBJ-iJ is complete.

What is the connector with a yellow wire marked "reverse brake" for and what does it plug into?

If you have the spare channel you can add that reverse brake on your receiver and assign the switch on your radio to activate that function which basically acts like a speed brake to slow your landing roll out.
