B25J Mitchell Bomber -- Plastic Model Airplane Kit -- 1/48 Scale -- #855512

Overall, this is a pretty good product. However, there are issues with balance, as you will need to add weight to the nose to keep it from tilting up. There were also some issues with fit, particularly along windows. Instructions were pretty clear though, and like I said, overall it was pretty good.

I have built two of these, once as a little kid and once as an adult. The kit goes together quite well with the exception of the nose. Being that the glass sections and the bottom part of the nose are three separate pieces and are separate from the main fuselage it can be quite tricky. Also the fit between the completed nose section and the main part of the aircraft leave something to be desired. On both of the kits there was a large...size difference for lack of a better term where the completed nose was skinnier then the fuselage. It can be fixed but it required some work. On the positive side everything else went together like a charm. The fact that the kit includes a few figures is great addition and the decals are very usable. All in all I would recommend this kit to anyone. It would make a great starter or quick build.

A nice model. Very cool decals and paint job. Only problem was that items inside the fuselage did not stay in very well and the two fuselage halves did not come together cleanly. I had to do quite a bit of sanding, cutting and gluing to get it to fit right. Even through all of that the top ball turret did not go in well ( Sigh). Other than that though it is a great model!

Just recieved this one yesterday,Very nice detailing,and moulding.Nice decal sheet.I have no misgivings about this kit.It will build into a nice model.
