smitty44 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hi all! I am looking for a source for the noseweights for the HK B-25 here in the U.S, and I was also wondering if there was a resin barrel for the 50 cals out there I could use instead of the brass ones. I know there is no resin barrel set made for the specific kit but I know there are resin barrels out there. Thanks for your help! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawman56 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 John, If you look in the review section, you'll see Nigel has recently posted a review of the Eduard Brassin .50 guns for HK's B-17G. Fantastic set, and as they're designed to be placement specific, (turret, waist, tail, etc...), they should work on the B-25 as well. You also might want to try contacting him, as he did an aftermarket review of parts for the B-25 on a different forum. I'm sure he'd be willing to impart some of his knowledge. Hope this helps, and good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawman56 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Smitty, another option would be to contact Ken at Pacific Coast Models. I know they distribute the HK B-25s and have an "upgraded kit" version that includes the nose weight. He may be able to get the weight for you, or point you in the right direction, at least. http://www.pacmodels.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave J Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Is there a reason that you want the weight its self? Why don't you use some fishing weights? I used them in my B-25 and had no issues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
