There was never a mold for the B-25, or even a completed prototype.

Thats a shame it would have been amazing in 1/18.

I don't think there was ever a B25 prototype, just concepts and it never made it to the mold stage. But there were prototypes of other products - the PBR, Vietnam hut, bridge, two story house, RTO etc. and I always wonder what happened to those, both as prototypes and samples if any molds were made. 21st and prototypes was a lot like the Seinfeld bit - 'they know how to take the reservations, they just don't know how to keep the reservations.

Speaking of prototypes and molds, I wonder if bbi still has that P47 prototype/sample that was at a toy show years ago.

it's a shame for the B25 & the phantom+mig21 ! but i was not aware of the BBI P47 ! does somebody 's got a picture of the show and BBI booth ?

By the way I've heard some rumors about a B 52 in 1/18 for 2012 but i am not sure

[aferguson]

no, the b-25 was never more than a twinkle in 21c's eye...

A B-52!?!?!? That would be a monster!!!

The really big planes serve no purpose other than to gather dust in 1/18.

A 1/18 B-25 was a dream and then 21C woke up.

The big multi engine planes, like the Mossie, B-25, B-26, P-61, Me-110 etc, etc, as well as the 4 engine real big planes would be very sizable in 1/32.

I say save 1/18 for fighters and vehicles.

TTT

A B-25 in 1:18 would be awesome, but really big.

The wingspan on a 1:32 B-25 would be close to what a 1:18 fighter is.

We can't even get that with some unscrupulous Chinese manufacturer pulling the rug out from under Wingscale's 1:32 B-25 and B-17, which were ready to be finalized, the deal went sour and they lost them to someone else. The details still murky, but a lot of very upset modelers.

Not to keep beating a dead horse, but what would the dimensions of a 1:18 B-25 be, I remember when they started advsrtising this, I kept thinking how would I hide that from the wife

If built it sure would have been the focus point of alot of collections

And if im not mistaking i do believe some one on the board did an amazing custom on the green one...

[MUDHEN336]

Wow! What scale are those? Are they the same scale as the Apache Princess B-25?

[derek_001]

their eather 1/16th or 1/18th all i know is thay look good with 1/18th pilots and a P-51 sitting next to them if some one can find the post of this that some one custommed into a 1/18th display please post it here....

YOu can always cover the foam planes in liquid sheeting II.

[CW4USARMY]

Hey RJDMcCarthy,

This B-25 is foam but you cant tell when it is finished. It really looks like a model when it is completed. Its the best thing out there for a B-25 in our scale.

HEY! Those are the pics i was talking about thanks CW4USARMY...

CW's b-25 is made by Flying Styro and is the closest to 1/18 available. It's about 1/17. All others available are larger in scale, most around 1/15 or bigger. They all look great and require very little skill to build them as they come prepainted. The foamy texture is really not a big deal. You quickly get used to it and from 5 feet away or more, it's invisible.

There's also a beautiful b-17 available by Freewing which is about 1/19 scale:
