Gonna Make It Home Mitchell

by Gerald Voigt
January 17th, 2012

Besides digging for reference material to accompany this build I need to pull out the kits and see what I have, then pick the one(s) I plan on using.

Digging through the stash I found a couple 1:48 B-25 kits I forgot I had. One was sitting in front of me on my in progress shelf…the other buried under some other stuff. The first being a Accurate Miniatures and the other a classic Aurora. The Aurora had an added surprise there was a B-29 in the box as well. Something I acquired from some other modeler who “got out” of the hobby. Its interesting to see the detail that was state of the art back in the day. Of course for some of you, you’ve never heard of or even seen this level of perfection of accuracy. ;0)

I also found some aftermarket accessories too! Given this aircraft is going to be damaged, I’m not so sure I want to use expensive aftermarket, but I have a little time to decide that, but not much.

Pondering over some of the possible scenarios that could be the cause of the “battle damage” could be one bomber dropping its “eggs” on another which was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Having a bomb embedded in the upper fuselage while another one clipped off a horizontal stab and rudder.

To that end I did some checking of the Spares Stash to see if I had any decent bombs to use should this be the scenario I use…I kinda like it so it has a good possibility.

Anybody got a good cutaway drawing of a B-25 they are willing to share and send me?

Timeless Voices: T R Swartz

by Gerald Voigt
January 15th, 2010

P1250891ec1I had the fortunate pleasure to conduct several interviews for the Timeless Voices program at AirVenture 2009 here is the one I did  with T.R. Swartz.

TR set a milestone in Naval Aviation history when he shot down a Mig during an air to air confrontation using Zuni air to ground rockets over North Vietnam.

To this day he still has a special aura around him.
