Chris' B-25H and some goodies

[phantom II]

I am posting a couple of pictures form my references. It is not for the weak of heart or for those that can't deal with airplanes that are not painted and washed to museum standards.

These are pictures of war horses in process of performing their duties.

Surely you can tell what will take place as I post new pictures......You have noticed by now that they were not necessarily clean. Cheers, Christian B)

The above photos were borrowed from the internet for discussion purpose only

I noticed that the 2 D and 1 G models all have the red surround to the national insignia.

Another Columbia vet


This is the one that sat on the bottom of Lake Greenwood for about 40 years. Now it's sitting in a hanger that it likely sat in before.

Ooh, I clicked the picture to a nice web site! How I wish they take lots of photos during the restorations and offer them for sale to modelers.

Did you notice the highly inaccurate insignia someone painted on it for display in front of the South Carolina State Museum?

It took me a while to decide whether it was a C or a J. That airframe is rough and the photography not that clear.
I'm thinking at the least there should not be any bars with the star.


Did a good job of weathering it though...HAHAHA

It is a C, there's a walk around out there somewhere that has a close up shot of the datapanel.

You are probably referring to the set of photographs at the Aircraft Resource Center (ARC).

Did I hear someone mention they were under the gun ? Well , I am finally out from under it .

This one is finished, but the bad news is that the pictures need more work and I don't have time to do it right now.

I will try to post more this evening, or in the morning.

Cheers, Christian. B)

Very very nice Chris. The mouth and gun and eyes just really make this one. Love it. Wonder what they would have used it for in the ETO. That would make for an interesting conversation.

Anything they wanted to use for it. Shipping of course, rail strikes, armor. Didn't they have a Mossie with a heavy gun in the nose?

Well, finally at a point where I can post more pix of this Beast

Hope I did not bore anyone with all the family pictures. It's been a while since a new Beast was born here....

Comments are welcomed and I hope you find something to enjoy.

Cheers, Christian B)

Great work Chris! It looks excellent! I know who to talk to for help when I decide to build a bomber, haha
