And there is something to be said for a "J" in aluminum, too.

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!

[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]

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

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

[Elbee]

Converting the FMS B-25 to a B-25B does take some effort, but it is well worth it.

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.

Why do they call you Bomber Bob? Fantastic collection!

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."

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..

And just my 2 cents worth au DOLLORS OF COURSE wes great addition

I no im on the other side of the planet.. but thats exciting can i see that zero,, cause i aint the only one its all fun that generates intrest and sales... which turns into better product

[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…

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.

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.
