I'm not Flipper but I hope you don't mind if I reply to your question.HGW belts are niot a pain actually...they're as fiddly as Radu's but in both cases the results are worth the time spent.

Nasty, I’d be embarrassed to send them out to anyone let alone a reviewer.

Eli, they used an electric solenoid to activate the guns the same as they did in for example a P-51 Mustang.It was located on the left side of each gun. The drawings will not show the wiring as it is only a placement drawing.I would need to look into the manual to the wiring section to find it. Here is a photo of the trigger on the control wheel for you. Notice the gunsight?
 

Just tell her if she doesn't like it, she can leave. Problem is that sometimes they call your bluff..... I'm happily single, if that wasn't obvious.
 
I'm hoping to see mine any day now. It'd make for a nice Friday to come home to it....

Absolutely need to populate. I would like to see some PTO/CBI ground crew and air crew. Short sleeves, sunglasses, shorts etc.
They could easily represent land based Navy and USMC personnel too.
 
Throw in a BEEP or a JEEP and some PSP and we got a nice looking diorama.

Just remember guys, the bomb bay and the interior of the bomb bay doors are natural metal not interior green as indicated in the instructions and seen on most warbirds. The interior of the wheel wells, engine cowling and firewall were also natural metal. The landing gear was painted aluminum. This is from the Maintenance and Erection Manual for the B-25 and is how there were supplied from the NAA factory.

It is easy to add as much as anyone wants, by holding them under hot water for a few and adding more twist.
You be right Jim.....

The UPS just delivered mine. All I can say is WOW! Great service from MIDTEN Hobbies. Let the diorama building begin.

Profimodeller in the Czech Republic has mask, nose weight MG barrels and a detail set for the nose.
 
My order is on the way.

I am in the process of casting the props right now. I made more molds to do a set at a time.
Now, if only I can get the housing to cast properly....

I noticed the spark plug conduit ring I cast onto the housing is not exactly level. I am re-doing it right now. Dang!!!

Yeah, I thought of that, I have cast both versions and found the Trumpy housing is a fair amount too large in diameter. There is a will, now to find the way..LOL

Instructions are up

In case you are not aware, if you are located in the continental US (lower 48 states), you automatically qualify for half price shipping since the kit is over $100. Our shipping costs are based on real time rates so we cannot tell you here what your exact cost will be as it is different for each person depending on where you reside (you can determine this on our website - then divide what the website tells you in half). For most people, it will be likely only between $5 and $8. If you add a few more items and your merchandise total is over $200, then shipping is free. If you are an educated shopper, you will know where you can get the best bang for your buck.

I will post a couple of scans of the blades in a few minutes. Let me know ya'll think. (I'm talkin' this here away so Jim can unnerstand)

Just got another email from PCM. Said they will begin shipping tomorrow! That means my B-25 will most likely arrive here on Monday. Hot Damn! I won't sleep tonight.

So Harold, there's a lot of scraping and shaping going on? Interesting to see what you do with the Titanics screws.
I also found a construction assembly error with the engines and will post it later. If you follow the instructions you will never get the exhuasts fitted to the back of the engine as they is just no room after everything is assembled.

I am still scraping and sanding!!

I had a few minutes between casting, so I went back to scraping and shaping the prop blade...again. What did they use for the refs on this thing, a screw from the Titanic?
