[QUOTE=Sharpy01;1446289]Well, Halifax Dave and his many projects shamed me back into the shop to get going on some stagnant projects that I have had way too many excuses for not working on.

Figured the Arf is my best bet to actually complete something before the snow melts. (if it melts)

Regardless, this bird began as a Hanger 9 B-25 and I'm not doing anything too dramatic, but want it to have a personal touch.  I used the Hamilton museum's Mitchell as the inspiration, peeled off the US markings and added roundels , invasion stripes and hacked up the nose art sticker so it is far from authentic, but is different.

I also have be dulling down the Ultracote finish with some fine steel wool that looks surprisingly good in real life. You can see the before and after not he two fuse pics.

I am going electric on this one to avoid the engine out excitement.  Tonight I managed to get the aileron and flap servos in the wings. (Hitec 625 MGs) Thats it for now and let's hope I can move a bit quicker now.[/QUOTE]

lol Dave, it wouldn't be so bad if most of my squirrels were other airplanes. Nothing done since these pics and nothing likely done for another couple of weeks.

..... my time will come, but in the meantime you are an inspiration and better than that, another guy I can point at and tell my wife; "you think, I'm bad, look at this guy".

Thanks

Re: H-9 B25 Arf Bash

I shudder to think of the number of projects I've got on the go, most of which I was sure would maiden this year! Me-262, Sukhoi SU-29,a pair of 1/5th Spits, has to be others somewhere under the balsa dust. I've recently started a TF P-40, Pica 1/5th WACO, and plans-built 1/3rd scale L-4 Grasshopper. Damn those squirrels. Looking forward to seeing the B-25 complete!

Well, actually spent a bit of time on a project in the shop.

Did some wiring and ran some pressure lines and mounted the nacelles.

..... at least I'm moving in the right direction again. Secret goal to have this thing crossed off the project list before Christmas so I can focus on the Spit again.
