Hi Group,

This beautiful model is from a vendor. He gave me permission to post the images and wrote:
Quoted Text

I hope one day to convert it to electric power (with radial engine sound and a smoke effect on start-up). The engines in it now, RCV-90s, don't have the best reputation for reliability. The LG go through a realistic 8 second retraction cycle. The top turret rotates with a servo through 180 degrees. I was working on a system to drop 9 para-frag bombs from the bomb bay when I stopped working on the project.

I did a lot of modifications to a Wing Mfg B-25 kit to get the PBJ to almost exact factory outlines. I have a lot of North American Aviation data that shows there hasn't been a 100% accurate 3-view drawing ever made. The model has three interchangeable noses. I never did detail the inside of the greenhouse nose so I don't have any photos of the model with it.
















Here's his source:

I hope to see it fly someday!

That is a beaut!

Though, reading the topic, I was expecting something peanut butter and jelly related.

Fred.
That's amazing. What scale is it? Hard to believe that it actually flies.
