I’ve always felt that the manufacturers are missing out on an opportunity to make money by not also selling the paint they use. I guarantee that just about every plane would have add on sales of paint for touch up alone.

Seems like free money to me

When the HK C-130 came out they sold the touchup paint also, but the paint did not match at all, the plane was a blue grey and the sample was more green blue grey. That has been discussed on most of the popular forums and the consensus was that the paint mix was different from day to day do to the person mixing and other factors like temp and humidity. How many have bought a plane and months later had to buy a new part and get that part and it not match, I know I have. Warehouse space to hold it also. R.

P.S. Evan said the same thing.

In reference to some of the posts above about paint - we do have some Freewing paints. Here is the link: https://www.motionrc.com/collections...B0%5D=Freewing
We have every color offered by Freewing. I asked them to add other colors and they are adding a silver color which is used on the P-38/B-24. This is all I can get Freewing to bottle right now. I get the feeling it is a real pain for them to do this but they have not come out and directly stated this...

Also, I have a B-25 ETA update. I can't decide if it is good news or bad news at this point. As of 9/26 - This shipment of B-25s is currently on a train arriving this Saturday. We are expecting these to arrive at Motion RC on Monday. If they arrive early, we will ship them Monday. If they arrive late Monday, we will ship them Tuesday.

Thanks for the update, Tom. It's not as early as I hoped but, hey, we are getting closer. It's a good thing Jesse James died in 1882. The shipment should be safe. I am looking forward to getting this bird into the air.

Will there be any "unspoken for" B25's in this shipment that can be had if ordered today, or would I have to wait for next shipment?

[Evan D]

Weeks ago, maybe even a month, there was mention of a third shipment. What happened to that one?

[Gilatrout]

Here’s hoping the shipment is going to be a Milk Run

Yes, there are currently B-25 in this shipment which can be had. I anticipate open stock when it arrives though I don't expect that open stock to last more than a week or so after arrival.

I tracked the third shipment. Looks like it will arrive a few days behind the first shipment. That means we "should" have a good amount of B-25 for a few weeks.

Thank you, I just ordered.

The B-25 will be arriving this afternoon around 2pm CST 😁. We will ship as many as possible before our last pickup of the day which is at 4pm CST. Any B-25 we don't get out today will ship tomorrow. B-25 parts are in this shipment as well. Once we ship out all the planes, it will take a few days to unbox/count all the B-25 parts and put them away. As soon as that is done, we will put all the B-25 parts in stock.

So excited to get the shipment notice. The email says it will be delivered Jul 6. Wait a sec while I hop into my Time Machine to fetch it.

thanks for the update
