We all know the first 8 or 9 B-25s had no gull wing, right? I started a Eureka B-25 kit while in Japan in 1958, or thereabout. Nice spun cowls and the plans were blueprints. As the plane neared completion, all the planking done, the guy running the base Hobby Shop pointed out my plane had regular dihedral and B-25s had the "gull Wing" planform. I traded it off, disgusted with Eureka. Now I have to wonder, was that kit one of those first Mitchells? Does anyone have or has anyone seen a Eureka kit such as I built? The wing spar's geometry allowed only a normal dihedral wing to be built, as I recall, but it has been a very long time...
Thannks for any info,

 I've had the notion of building another B25 for some time, this time to completion. It would be just a Standoff Scale. With documentation for the "straight" wing, it would be different, anyway. Now that there is photo evidence of a B25 cable arrested landing ( picture in Carrier section) it could be a multi-purpose airplane.
 Wonder if any ever got R2800s? That would add some performance.  dg

Hi Dale,
I think the B-25 got 2600's because the Martin and the fighters were using the 2800's and there wasn't sufficient production to support them all. I looked but couldn't find a reference to the first B-25 having 2800's but NAA built another prototype with them, i believe.
Hi to Linda from Laura.
Chris...

Nice size for a stunter.
Chris...

Little short on wing area for a stunter, little long on span for carrier, but with the right props it ought to achieve a scale speed of mach 1.4

I think it would be pretty good with some weight saving building, and props, plus a Rabe *style* airfoil, it could be a very good stunter!  (and probably flow quite easily on a pair of smaller stunt engines)

Thanks for all the input, guys. The thing I'm looking for is the old Eureka B-25 in particular. Probably they're all gone, I was just curious as to which wing (wings) it had. Thanks once more, dg

Hi Dale,
You do see those Eureka kits every once in a while on eBay or in swap meets. You might find one eventeually.
Chris...

you might - but they sell for over $1000 at the moment.  might be good to get one, trace the parts and re-sell it.

Bill,
That's what I was looking for! The one I had (1958) would probably have needed a pair of .19s, I was going with .29s, way to much, probably. About 30 in. wingspan, roughly.

No straight wing version on the plans, eh? I guess I must have put the spars in the wing wrong somehow.

Thank you, dg
