nmayhew Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Good morning, I have on a whim recently bought Hong Kong Models 1/32 B-25 H. I am on the look out for schemes for the H which are interesting and well-documented enough to build with some reasonable degree of accuracy (happy to make custom masks etc). What caught my eye were the PBJ-1H in tri-colour scheme... There is already a resin conversion for the wing-tip radar in 1/32, but I would like to know did these see action in WWII? I can’t imagine anything stationed on Hawaii ever saw an enemy ship or plane that late in the war, but happy if that’s not correct. Any info on PBJ-1H or indeed any other interesting B-25 H schemes would be much appreciated. Kind regards, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nichenson Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 There were some stationed in the Philippines. Not sure how much action they saw though. nmayhew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mentioned an after market radar pod (Lone Star’s?), but are you aware that Profimodeller does a full conversion set for the PBJ-1H in 1/32?

Click here hi, thank you for looking and yes the profimodeller set was what i was thinking of the more i research it, the more i am likely to go for a 'regular' (non-USMC H) i quite like the Clana Louise on EagleCals' sheet but cannot find the reference pic(s) they used - driving me nuts! kind regards, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
