      MotionRC,

      For your consideration, the Flightline B-25J conversion to the B-25C 'Desert Warrior' circa 1943.

      The Desert Warrior operated from El Alamein across Africa through Sicily and flew 73 combat missions from 1942-43.

      She dropped over l0 tons of bombs, shot down 3 enemy fighters, and flew 191 combat hours without losing a single crew member.

      The crew brought her back to the US to do war bond tour and she was decommissioned in 1944.

      Link below for more photos and history.

      The Desert Warrior was a North American B-25 Mitchell that served during World War 2. The Desert Warrior took part in operations from El Alamein across Africa through Sicily. The ship flew 73 combat missions, dropped over l0 tons of bombs, shot down 3 enemy fighters, and flown 191 combat hours. This collection of images were donated by the family of Ralph Lower, the pilot of the Desert Warrior.

          Not finished yet but a heck of a canvas to work on.
          This is a 12 year old airplane that has been smucked up twice, the last time being 2019. She's sat in the waste box ever since. Winter does strange things to the mind and since I had the pieces I needed to attach the wings to the fuse again, I went ahead. The canopy is actually two canopies joined to make one and the port side rear window is made from a piece of clear from a greetings card box top. replaced the red cowl, pilot and the prop blades. That's it.
          I've started in on the cleaning up of things like the wheels and guns before 'aging' it again.

                          Today's video is a bit special, as it was filmed from a high vantage point, making the scenes look extra cinematic! :D
