About product

The B-25B, the aircraft that flew from a deck it was never meant to leave

The B was the second production form of the twin-engine bomber and it was easy to tell apart from the later ones: it had no tail gun position and it carried a retractable ventral turret that the gunners aimed through a periscope and frankly hated. These are the aircraft behind the most famous episode of the whole type.

On April 18, 1942, sixteen of these bombers took off from the deck of an aircraft carrier in the middle of the Pacific, although nothing of the kind had been foreseen in the design. The crews struck the Japanese home islands and then flew on over China; the damage was small, the effect on morale on both sides enormous. Because of weight, the ventral turret and the bombsight were removed before the raid and dummy barrels made from broom handles were fitted in the tail.

The extent of the masking

The glazed navigator's nose, the pilot's canopy, the side windows and the glazing of the gun positions add up to a large area with irregular frames. The die-cut parts break it down into individual shapes and go on before the base color is sprayed. The masking is laid out for the outer side as well as the inner one.

  • Aircraft and version: medium bomber of the US Army, second production form.
  • Areas in the set: the nose, the pilot's canopy and the side glazing.
  • Sides of the glazing: outside and inside.
  • Target model: the Accurate Miniatures release.

The package holds no plastic components.

FAQ

It had no tail gun position and it carried a retractable ventral turret aimed through a periscope. The shape of the glazing therefore differs from the later versions and the mask does not fit them.

The glazed navigator's nose, the canopy over the pilots and the side windows. This is the largest continuous glazed area on the whole model.

That is not the intention. The adhesive is set up for one reliable application and on a second use the shape may no longer seal.

No, the bomber model has to be bought separately.
