CD48209 - 1/48 Postwar B-25


Recommended Posts

 

Really want to do a postwar B-25 sheet. I will probably wrap this up quickly along with the HUP-2/3 and the Invader sheet that I am working on; so expect to see this one out quickly (I hope).

 

I have a few subjects lined up:  ANG, MATS, Air Training Command TB-25s; perhaps even the one with SAC sashes. What else do you want to see?

I noticed these but I am not sure if anyone does the radar nose.

 

This one looks interesting - can anyone identify the badge?

 

I know Tallmantz went out of business a long time ago, but we still need to check if the logo & trademarks are clear to do this one (on the right)  - perhaps some of the well-connected among you can ask around?

The following pictures are from the book "Peace Was Their Profession - SAC: A Tribute", authored by Mike Hill, John M. Campbell & Donna Campbell, Schiffer Publishing, ISBN 0-88740-688-2

 

It's for a good cause, but if anybody feels these violate the copyright, please delete this post. I've simply photographed them from the book, but if you need better quality images (such as they are), message me and I'll see if I can scan them without breaking the book's spine.

 

Below is 44-31464

The following is 44-88700 (The second photo is just to show that the flash highlight in the picture doesn't hide any detail):

So is the B-25 on a stick in an authentic color scheme (that is, ADC Grey) or is it just for display purposes?

This is the only one I've ever seen in ADC Grey.   All the other SAC B-25s I've seen pics of were either in natural metal or aluminum paint.  It is possible that some ANG unit may have painted one up in ADC grey and used it as a hack.

With a plane on a pole, who knows?  It may not have even been intended to be ADC gray. Those in charge may have decided “Gray looks good. There’s some over there. Besides, the hardware store is out of Moonlight Silver.”
