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.
Best, LB

I know these are posted elsewhere, but what the heck!
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.
