The U.S. Navy designation for the Mitchell B-25 was the PBJ-1, similarly the PBJ-1C and PBJ-1D reflected their AAF counterparts. Night search PBJs incorporated a retractable APS-3 radome scope. Under the pre-1962 USN/USMC/USCG aircraft designation system, PBJ-1 stood for Patrol (P) Bomber (B) built by North American Aviation (J), first variant (-1) under the existing American naval aircraft designation system of the era.
A patriots dream store. Lots of really cool red, white and blue stuff and cool Marine shirts, hats, flags, and plush toys. This is on the MCRD base in San Diego. They have Marine graduations there every Friday if you are in town on a Thursday (family day) or Friday (graduation), it is quite a wonderful event.

Overcome with emotions, Marines mourn the loss of one of their own at a memorial service held here April 19, 2006 for Lance Cpl. Darin T. Settle. A native of Henley, Mo., Settle, 23, died April 14 from injuries sustained in a non-hostile motor vehicle accident in Al Anbar Province, Iraq. He was deployed here as a machine gunner with Transportation Support Company, Combat Logistics Regiment 15. Following remarks by Settle’s friends and coworkers, a 21-gun salute was fired to honor the fallen Marine who was serving his second tour of duty in Iraq. Settle is survived by his son, Wesley Arvin Gage Settle and his parents, James and Ruby Settle.
i did a whole torso in the camo this time. As well as a poncho, and helmet.
I don't like how the ammo pouches turned out. another coat of paint would have served them well, but whatever.

Marine maintains his salute while parade rolls by..The Staff Sergeant stood out in the heat for hours
while thousands of motorcycles drove by. The water was given to the Marine
by a Park Police Sergeant, who has originally placed it in front of his
feet. The only time the Staff Sergeant moved was to put the water behind
him so nothing would be in between him and the fallen.
US Marines McDonnell F.4S Phantom 155848 at The Museum of Flight, East Fortune, Scotland.
First flown as a F.4J in 1968 for the US Navy, later modified to F.4S standard for USMC use.
An opportunity to see this aircraft temporarily displayed outside due to hangar refurbishment, this classic jet is now back under cover.
Just for fun. Got the idea from Max/The Halls Of Montezuma. Don't know why camo with plates makes models appear taller than they are. This one looks huge in the file without a fig. But it is the exact same height as my other Shermans. My M4s, M4A1s, and M4A2s are all 9 wide models. My M4A3s are all 10 wides. I think it gives them that bigger look and feel over the earlier Shermans.
Woots! A US custom! So I held a poll previously seeing if you guys prefer me redo a MARpat or do a Multicam, MARpat won, so here you go!
Used to be a US Engineer but I felt nahhh nope. I hardly see any non-Battlefield Marines customs out there, so I decided to do one.
He comes with a M27 IAR, which is fully sculpted ontop of a BA ARC. More pics of it later!
Belt, vest, boots, pockets and pouches all completely sculpted from scratch.
MARpat was tiring but fun to make ;P It's completely freehand, done in around 3 hours, give or take. Might try to do a carved version of it, sometime in the future...
Thanks alot to Jon who gave me advice on the free hand MARpat and the sculpting of the opentop magazine pouch.
Thanks to Richard for helping me with sculpting the M27-IAR.
Tags and groups later, gotta rush to school now!
Welp, I'm not too happy with the MARPAT overall but on the helmet it turned out not too bad. I had to really shorten the M16A4's stock so it could be held "properly." I feel I should take another photo of it.
Another Battlefield-inspired squad:
Assault - The Assault is the ordinary island lander, but effective none the less. Though packing a little less punch than the Garand, his M1 carbine has the ammo capacity to ensure the onslaught never ends. No island assault can be successful without him.
Engineer - The lack of Japanese armor in the Pacific Islands pushes the Engineer to a more personal-based role. He brandishes a gleaming machete, used for clearing both Pacific undergrowth and opposition which gets near enough, and a Winchester 1897 which provides bunker-clearing firepower. He is integral to the squads movement and bunker/tunnel clearing success.
Support - The Support's tattoo tells the whole story: he is a dedicated Marine. Used in more of a defensive role, he'll fight to the last man in the company of only his M1917a1. Lugging ammo belts around his chest has given him more than enough strength to fight on in the Pacific, and his grimace tells he'll be fighting if able.
Recon - Raised in the raider program, the Recon is the squad's marksman. The Raider program taught him to camouflage his face to blend in with the Pacific landscape, and his special rig carries a little extra to ensure his survival prolonged operations. Armed with the deadly-accurate M1903a4, there is no distance in which you are safe from his wrath.
