Recommended Posts

Searching for background information for my B-25 build I ran into these two film clips of the 12th Bomb Group (Medium) "The Earthquakers" in North Africa:

For anyone making a Fresco these walkaround sites may prove helpful (notwithstanding the usual caveats about restored aircraft).

 

Thing to note is that the aircraft in the Detail & Scale and Primeportal walkarounds are Fresco A's differences are subtle, no reheat on the A and smaller airbrakes (with the actuators the opposite way around), compared to the Fresco C however, most of the details will be useful, the Detail& Scale site has some useful notes accompanying the pictures (as you'd expect).
