B25J Mitchell Bomber

I found this kit a blast to build. The thing really bristles with guns when you're done. Note that I had to add some additional weight in the front to keep it on the nose wheel (as opposed to sitting on its tail). It is a great complement to other aircraft in this scale and there are many decal options available for the kit. Great price for a fun build.

This is a fairly good model to build, but not for a 10 year old, or skill level 2. You should have some good modeling skills to make this look good. I decided to do the B which is all silver. Had a bit of fine tuning to do to this B-25 and the bottom of the nose piece, not the clear canopy part,was a bit tricky. I had to take out the machine gun guys front seat, after it was glued, and trim away about 1/3 of the bottom of the seat as the bottom nose piece was hitting on it and I couldn't get it to go on properly. Overall, it went together quite nice. Very time consuming if you want a spectacular model! Bob Brown

Fuselage fit needed putty. Typical flash. Instructions poor, had to re read a lot. Gaps on engine to wings, more putty. Need patience and trimming for wings to fuselage fit! Starboard wing especially tough. Sorry numbers all mixed up, spent time searching for parts. I'm an intermediate modeler so I had some problems. With patience I was fairly pleased with the finish.
