b-25 "experience"

Post by tiger1 » Fri Mar 09, 2007 8:27 am

Hi guy`s-one thing thats bugging me;i once built the b25 from monogram
in 1-48,and i remembered that i had to build it with solid nose in order to have enough weights in the nose to balance the model on it`s wheels...
The model got so heavy that the ldg`s could barely support it..that makes me wonder.....
I guess the only solution is to move the mlg`s aft in the nacelles(like the p38) and that kind of ruins the model i think...

I hope thats not the answer :oops:
i have to keep the wheels up on my P-38 all the time
THE answer would be metal landing gear with weights in engine cowls like i did on A/M 1/48th B-25 :roll:

Good point on the weights! I forgot that I had to do that with my models of a B-25, B-26, B-29, etc. I'm sure 21c will think of putting weights in the nose, and one can probably do that and hide them. I like the metal landing gear idea as well. Corgi did that with their little 1:72 B-25 8)

21st was able to solve this problem with the MiG-15! Notice how well it sits on its gear? I wouldn't worry about the B-25 at all. 21c has it all under control. :D

Meaning the factory in China will "forget" to put the landing gear on :wink:
