Excellent job designing those scale wheels for the B-25. It makes a big difference over the OEM wheels!

[Elbee]

Hey all,

Assembling my B-25 and I had removed the 'ribbon' cables from the fuselage Blue Box prior to priming and painting.

Need to know if these cables are specifically Right Hand and Left Hand from the "Blue Box" to each wing/nacelle.

I would think not, as one can change the servo directions from the Tx, but thought I should ask.

Any assist would be greatly appreciated.

Best, LB

They aren’t different..

[Elbee]

Thanks Evan, that was my thought, just wanted a verified second opinion. Best, Steve

Does anyone have a 3D .STL file for the B-25 machine guns?

These are the redesigns for my Desert Warrior build of the OEM barrels.

I presume that is what you are wanting.

There are 2 sizes 1.35mm diameter and 1.5mm diameter.

You can resize these in your slicer program and then cut to any length after printing.

Thanks LB I got the 50mm cannon for the nose, I need the side machine guns, but I can scale that down to make it work. Appreciate it..

hope everyone had a good Memorial day ..to much traffic in our area and di not go fly today. late day photos ..Glad i made the effort to repaint the b25 and finish the rescaled 3d printed 8x 50 cal removable gun nose the all the green ones are almost identical . not a completely easy conversion but very worth it as i never liked the clear nose b25s unless it was a air Apache field conversion

Are you replacing all the nose guns with better 50 cal prints?

Best, LB

[Denniswpb]

Nope, just replacing the guns that accidently got broken off.. I had a main gear collapse on takeoff roll the other day and it took a bit of a tumble.

Your model looks great! I like the silver and for me the gunship nose is the only way to go.

For mine I stayed with olive/grey and made a drop in 3D printed nose. Replaced the 50 cal barrels all around including Browning M2 full bodies for the turret. Rims for Robart tires are available on Thingiverse.

Yours looks great. I went with the stock rims and Dave Brown foams that completely cancel out any bounce on a paved runway., the silver keep the plane very cool in the California summer sun , green will bubble the skin . will print a set of the 3d rims soon but use foams glued to the rim possibly. haven't mad a huge effort to detail the b-25 yet

Great mods and perfectly executed per usual.
