    Looking for 1/48 B-25H Nose

    I have been looking out of the hobby for a few years and have just restarted to get back in to this and now i am looking for a 1/48 B-25H with the 75mm cannon i can't find a kit at a price i can afford. And I keep getting sniped or just out bid on ebay, So i am asking if any of you have a nose in you junk box you would sale. both top and bottom, cannon would be nice also but i can make it if need be. resin or plastic is ok

    Can't recall seeing one, but there have been kits including the nose. What scale is it, and have you tried looking at Hannant's web -site, or Squadron if in the USA?

    Have you thought of making your own resin one? There's a post somewhere here on making resin parts but your initial outlay on materials could run you a few bucks, as much as a new resin part perhaps.

    Another approach would be molding heated plastic card. Wojtek (callsign Wurger) has a post showing how he formed a pilot's seat this way - pretty incredible.

    In each case, you'd have to make a form in the shape of the nose out of wood or something equivalent so you'll need to be a bit handy.

    If you can't find one (Monogram did a kit in 1/48th, which can still be found here and there), then it should be a fairly simple job to shorten the 'glass' nose, smooth it off with Milliput or similar, and drill the holes for the cannon and guns. Takes a bit of work, but not much and not too difficult. Either that, or make a balsa former and mould a nose from plastic sheet, as Andy suggested (Crimea R.).
