Geoff M Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I just finished reading a great book that was suggested on these forums, Warpath Across the Pacific, and thanks to all those brave men that served in that unit. Anyway I want to try and build an example of a b-25 from each of the squadrons. I am finding that many of the marking from these units are out of production and available at ridiculous prices. Looking for a reasonable source for markings. By the way I have already done a B-25J gun nose from the 498th, so I just need the 499,500,501. Thanks Geoff M Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Geoff M Another great book about the Air Apaches is "Air Apaches"...by Jay Stout. He also wrote the great book about the 303rd Bomb Group in England. Pick up a 32nd scale B-25J gun nose strafer...it has Air Apache decals in the box. Great kit too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just finished the HK B-25 and made some masks for the markings. It's from the 405th, so not one of the squadrons you mentioned, but if you are interested I can see about reducing the mask to 1/48th. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff M Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 Brenhen, Thanks for the offer but this is not an immediate project, as I have other things on the bench, but I am always thinking of the next thing. I appreciate the offer but I will continue my search for the 345 squadrons. Imay have to try making my own masks for some of these. Thanks again. Geoff M Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't tried it yet, so we'll see how it translates to a smaller scale Quote Link to post Share on other sites
