1:72 B-25C

The real subject

The B-25 Mitchell is an American twin-engine medium bomber of the Second World War, recognizable by its twin vertical tail and its slightly cranked wing. The B-25C version belongs to the first production forms with a glazed nose and a bombardier up front, that is to the shape seen in most photographs from the beginning of the type's war service. Mitchells flew not only with American units but also with a number of allied air forces, which is why you will meet them on models in very different finishes.

What the sheet contains

This is a separate decal sheet for a model in 1:72 scale, that is an accessory for a kit, not the kit itself. Which machines, insignia and lettering the sheet carries and to what extent are given in the manufacturer's instructions included.

Applying the decals

These are waterslide decals. Cut the marking out as close as possible, dip it into lukewarm water for a few seconds and let it soak until it starts to slide freely on the backing paper. The base should be glossy; on a matte surface silvering appears under the film of the decal. Slide the marking into place, blot the water away with a cloth from the center toward the edges and draw it into the panel lines with a decal softener. On the large surfaces of the fuselage work in sections and make sure the film does not fold over. Finally seal everything with a clear coat.
