That B-25 is a beauty, but how hard is it to assemble? The website said "Assembly will take 20-40 hours depending on the degree of detail that you choose". I know that a lot of that is installing the R/C gear which most of us don't care about.aferguson wrote:http://www.hobby-lobby.com/b-25.htm
Aferg is spot on with his response. Buy the detailed kit, it comes with all the interior details, and if you have ever built a plastic model you should have no problems at all. Just remember it's made of foam and you may have to use some touch up paint when you are done and you will be just fine. I have one laying around, but I plan on flying mine and haven't had enough time to build it yet. Overall it is a very sharp looking plane for either flight or just display.parrish333 wrote:That B-25 is a beauty, but how hard is it to assemble?

Aferg: I think you did buy this one, right? How long to get it just looking good as a 1:18 static model?
Thanks!
Doubtful that 21st will make any four-engine bombers in 1/32. Those bombers will have more details on them, plus they're gonna be as big as a 1/18th aircraft...maybe even bigger!Dauntless wrote:I was really looking forward to a 1:18 B-25 from 21st, but I thought when I heard about it "yeah right"
I do think that given the way things are going in the 1:18 market, 21st could at least do twin engine bombers in 1:32. I think they would sell very well.
Think of it:
B-25
HE-111
BF-110
JU-88
C-47
B-26
Heck, if they really wanted to go to town, they could even do some four engine bombers in 1:32
Though I have almost every aircraft so far ever made in 1:18 scale, and it is my favorite, I still have been buying the 1:32 planes from the beginning, and pretty much see a glimmer of hope for that size with the major retailers.
Yeah it's doubtful, but not impossible. I would pay good money for one.GooglyDoogly wrote:Doubtful that 21st will make any four-engine bombers in 1/32.

They have a hard enough time producing a 1/18 King Tiger, which is actually smaller and have less detail than a 1/32 four-engine bomber.

I am so excited for all the people that have asked for the B-25 in 1:18.
I cannot wait to get one of these for my office!
Now Admiral can take this off the drawing room table. This one was going to be expensive for us to produce. But believe it or not cheaper then the F-4. So I think we can expect a price lower then the 21st’s F-4. The B-25 has a lot of plastic but is a lot easier to tool and has a much more straight forward production.
I cannot wait. Great choice of models!
