CANicoll Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Kent, I'm in total awe looking at this. Wow. Can't wait to see your next build - diorama and all! Chris kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel_W Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I just found your incredible build thread, and just finished your saga about your research to the connection of Old Ironsides III at Alesani Airfield, Corsica around July/August 1944 and Joseph Heller. just fascinating to say the least.

Joel_W Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Kent, I stayed the course and finished reading all 12 pages at one seating. I've seen many a super detailed model in my 40 years on and off in the hobby, but none that compares to the over all level that you maintained throughout your build while staying true to the origins of the actual aircraft. Your ability to create parts like the heating system, or scratch out a better part then a After Market item is truly world class.

This was really a 'tour de force' in every way! I was looking for a story behind one of the B-25J's. I need this to keep my motivation on such a massive undertaking, but I never imagined finding this 'treasure'. The real story behind Catch-22, is really fascinating and it kept me going through this project. Have you had time to watch some of the footage from 'training during combat' on youtube? It's incredible stuff! Regards: Kent Joel_W and Shaka HI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I really don't have the display space for such a large mode as the B-25J. I built a enhanced 1/48 scale Accurate Miniatures B-25B. It's ok, but no where the level that you've shown possible. Joel kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citadelgrad Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Hi Joel In fact, no problem on the cowling dimensions entirely. The problem is on the installation point of the fuselage The problem is solved when the connection point is shifted down 1-2 mm. You can see test fitting of the cowling on page 4. Tolga, Since I'm about ready to buy the Hasegawa P-47D bubble and some AM parts, the cowling issue is of concern to me. So you're saying that by lowering the mounting point of the cowling it now fits correctly both on the top and bottom. So the top would have been 1-2 mm to high. Joel Thank you for this information, i am getting ready to start this same model. If i can ask for a bit of clarification, is it a matterof chopping off the attachment point and eyeballing a move down 1-2 mm? Did you simply glue the point lower? Sorry if these are basic questions, but i want to make sure i understand. Thanks, Bill from California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citadelgrad Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Apologies, it appears i messed something up and posted on the wrong thread. This gives me the opportunity to thank you for sharing an amazing build. Catch 22 is a favorite of mine. Sorry about the zig zag over to a p47 cowling question. Bill from California.

guppy35 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Found this thread while researching the B-25 Old Ironsides III. I recently, as of two days ago obtained a couple of photos from April 1945 from the family of another 488th bombardier. Turns out he and Heller had time a year apart on the same 25. Thought you might like to see Old Ironsides with more paint, now completely covering the fuselage outside of the name.

Just when you think you can't find more information anywhere, something like this happens! Great... I got this photo from Dominique Taddei of Old Ironsides III in the air - Covered with olive drab from 1945... Thank you!
