Jack Devine's
Giant-Scale 106" B-25 Mitchell Bomber
R/C model kit
: Regular $650.00
The Greenhouse version is presently the only
available version. (Gunship shown above)
With a Jack Devine model, much of the work has already been done for you. Imagine opening the boxes
and finding a fully-formed foam frame waiting there for you! You won't
have to imagine what your model is going to look like framed up. The frame
is done, the shape is already complete! All that's left to do is follow
the easy video instructions for capping, sheeting, and installing some hard
points like a firewall and landing gear blocks, and your model is ready for gear
and finish! On a model the size of a B-25, you'll realize how quickly you
can be in the air compared to a stick-built model. There's just no
comparison in building time, a Jack Devine model builds faster every time!
Break the "Weight Barrier"
that has existed between R/C modelers and great flying warbirds for so long!!
The 106" wingspan Jack Devine Giant-Scale
B-25 Mitchell Bomber R/C model kit has super-light wingloading
and exceptional strength and durability due to Jack Devine's trademark foam
building technology. Jack Devine gives you a Medium Bomber guaranteed to FLY!
This Jack Devine B-25 Mitchell model will lend
itself especially well to scale endeavors. The strength and lightness means that you can add a lot of detail and still have a plane that
flies and lands light! The best of both worlds!
The B-25 Mitchell was named after General
Billy Mitchell, in honor of the fact that he was court-marshaled in 1924 for his
vociferous belief in Air Power as a military instrument in the future.
This bomber was created and stood as a tribute to his vision, which America
should have paid more attention to. Fortunately, some quieter proponents
of air power carried Mitchell's vision forward, advancing military aircraft
technology until Pearl Harbor showed America that we cannot let our guard down,
and that Billy Mitchell was right all along. After the American war effort
was set in motion, the President insisted that we find a way to bomb Japan
immediately as retribution for Pearl Harbor. The plan materialized, and
woven into the fabric of the plan was the B-25 Mitchell Medium Bomber.
They were stripped down, with ventral turrets removed to accommodate more fuel
weight, and rear guns removed and replaced by broomsticks painted black!
These bold moves enabled them to stretch their range so that they could bomb the
Japanese mainland. On April 18th, 1942, sixteen B-25's flew off the deck
of the aircraft carrier Hornet, led by Jimmy Dolittle. They were
successful, and bombed Tokyo as planned. Carrying just four bombs each,
this mission was more representative than devastating to Tokyo, but the point
had been made: This was just the beginning. Their refueling point was
badly obscured, however, and they had no choice but to attempt completion of the
run with low fuel reserves, and one by one, the B-25's dropped along the
way. All sixteen planes were lost, although many of the crewmembers made
it safely home. Several died, several were captured, and at least four
died as POW's. But the sacrifices of these brave men earned them the name
of Dolittle's Raiders, and thrust the B-25 into the bright light of fame from
that day on, and the B-25 was subsequently used extensively in every theatre of
WW II.
It comes with our instructional video to help you
build it easily. The video guides you through the
capping and sheeting of all foam pieces, and the gearing up for hardware,
mounts, etc. Are you wondering about the processes involved? This
website also has building articles filled with a variety of tips and techniques
to help answer many of your construction questions, both now and after you start
building your Jack Devine model!
The
wings have pre-cut control surfaces and flaps, servo pockets, and wire channels.
Included is all of the balsa you will need for sheeting, a generous hardware package consisting of hardware, landing
gear, and fiberglass cowlings and Lexan canopies are included as well. Cutting for retracts
is optional. Mains use Robart Retracts with
5 1/2"wheels, nose gear uses Robart Retract with 3 1/2" wheel.
Building time: This kit
can be built in as little as 35 hours.
