How was your day yesterday?
After a fiew weeks of bad and cold rainy weather here mix with
snow and ice we finaly had a decent day with sun and warm temp.
This week was to expect a buddy to visite from USA and had got
together the Mitchell for that meet and so my buddy could see it all together.
Some change as happen with the schedule meet visite & will be done by next week.
As it was so nice out yesterday at noon hour that I got the Mitchell outside befort putting it a part again to continue the build process by the following day’s …
Here is the first outside sortie of the Mitchell B-25J photographies at the sun yesterday and I most say ,, it as gave me a great amount of goose bump all over and all afternoon while I was making a photoshoot session for the pleasure it provide me …
The B-25J Mitchell Bomber at first site.
A real chocolate pleasure I admite … Enjoy as I did !
While making the photoshooting session,
got a idea while I will do my RG’s , it will be to inplant a extra air cylinder
for to make the front nose RG door bay open and close fonction.
Later in the fall and winter will continue and do my closing
door’s for the main RG’s to work too …
Updated
photographies to where the Mitchell stand at the moment.
Will continued the process soon after my buddy visiting from USA.
I want him to see it full assemble …
Here is a devise that works great to test your RG”s retracting fonction:
On dorsal to see the standby fix RG’s in for the visite propose:
The ENG’s spiner nut’s I have been waiting for 3 months:
Tail gunner location:
The nose steering wheel RG’s:
The Mitchell on static:
Yesterday,
got going on the nose gear door bay.
I have the one from the kit it self, but will put that good one
on the side to be use later as I will do maybe next fall or winter
my retractable closing doors and will need that one in one piece.
So made a other door for the front nose gear and will make the hole
so that the gear and strut get’s in smoothly. I have sand the wood balsa block
so it can acheive the proper corner’s curves around the fuse round bottom.
At the moment waiting to receive proper information
to where to drill my 4 holes to holddown the RG’s devises.
Got 2 answers this morning and will read more befort making the
right inplant drilling holes.
Till now, the informations are very accurate and trusty as owners of the
same type Mitchell have done it with succesful result’s …
Will make up my mind and will proceed soon …
NEW making of the front nose gear door plate:
Yesterday,
got going on the nacelles underbelly RG’s cutting area
where the retract’s struts wheel’s gears will be store while retracting
action will be activated.
All when pretty go and better then I was expecting.
Will do some more ajustment on the already cut area
so that the RG’s get’s in nicely.
Next will drill 4 holes where the bolts & nut’s will be located
in proper position on the rail so the wheels clear greatly the open gears storage bay area.
Reamin to do also is the front nose retractable gear and open storage bay area …

Got the water out and vacum and got to clean the little Jetta

to test if the MIG would fit in the Jetta for transport next to me.
Wonderful news, it fit in there like a glove. Will do soon the hold-down
