"Awsome build"
Tbob72
I didn't start this build, I inherited it. I got it when my nephew gave up on it, said it was too hard for him. I can kind of see why, it had a lot of fid issues that would present problems for a beginner, but not at all for a experienced modeler. I had a lot of fun building it and will another one soon. Revell hit a home run with this kit.

"Great model"
qxsp70
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.

 
"Magnificent Mitchell"

This is the second B-25 in 1/48 I have built in the past 6 months, both of them being the Revell/Monogram kits. This glass nosed bomber version went together very nicely. Putty does't scare me and a bit was needed to make a seamless fuselage joint and again where the tail unit joins to the fuselage. Care must be taken when attaching the multitude of clear pieces as there are plenty of opportunities to mess up the canopies if too much adhesive is used. Clear canopy glue of any manufacturer reduces the risk of oozing glue. The bomb bay is snug so care must be taken to trim all pieces properly to ensure they all fit inside the small bomb bay. As mentioned elsewhere weight must be added as this, like nearly all nose wheel aircraft is tail heavy. Don't fret as there is room in the bombardiers crawlway and also between the engine and the firewall where plenty of weight can be secured to have this model sit on it's weighted wheels. As with most bigger models a lot of the small detail work of interior pieces will not be visible once the fuselage is joined together. Very little of the interior of the rear fuselage is to be seen so you could very easily not take the time to do up the ammo bins etc and no-one would notice. You would be better off taking the time to do a bang up jib on the bombay as the bulkheads and the bombs are plainly visible if you leave the doors open. The B-25J was a very popular aircraft and as such there is a large number of after market pieces and decals that are available allowing one to have a custom built aircraft that will truly stand out in a crowd of Mitchells. I would highly recommend this model to anyone who is looking to increase the size of their medium bomber air force. Cheers, Jeff

 
"Pretty good"
Ragajester
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!
