Warbirds are BIG BUCKS toys but these guys are on serious
drugs .... You could buy an operational B-25 for that kind
of money let alone a shell basket czse tat needs to be
dismantled and moved to a refurb shop !!!!
A shell rebuilder (if the major casting parts are good)
is 100 K at tops .. If you want to know anything about
B-25's then contact Tom Reiley at Flying Tigers Air Museum
in Kissimmee Fla.. Tom is THE premier B-25 rebuilder in the
US.. Know em' well flew lots of hours with him. They don't
come any better ..
