In updating my museum website, I found a link that I had inadvertantly forgot about.

It was showing off our newest acquistion (in 2001) to the museum.

I added some additional photos to it today.

Enjoy.

Jeez Jeff- how'd you acquire it? Did the guy run out of space to store it himself, or get tired of it? What a piece of work!

His wife made a deal with him, you can have the big airplanes, but you can only have one at time. After he tired of the B-25, he was working on a B-26 in the same 1/4 scale. Art was a good friend of mine, and he wanted the plane in a place where he could show it off...

Sadly, the B-26 never got finished.

Years back FSM did a story on a modeler in England who had scratch built an Lancaster, I believe it was 1/4 scale, only to lose it in a crash shortly after the article was written, it was a beauty. Oh to have room around the house for something like that.

Wow!! Talk about dedicated. It's a shame about the B26. I'm partial to them. My 3rd kit and 1st prop or bomber was one.

One of the reasons I stick to plastic models. In R/C it's not if you will crash, it's when. I'll stick to my ocassional "loss" due to falling objects or a clumsy hand.

I remember seeing a video of RC planes several years ago in New Milford CT at Hobbytown USA. There was this huge B-17, in olive drab garb that came over a power line, lost control and spun toward the ground. The thing disintegrated. I couldn't belive my eyes it looked like a real aircraft crash. It was horrifiing. I can never get that one out of my mind.
