About product

B-25J — Bombsight, 1:48, Eduard (Direct 3D Print)

An add-on set from Eduard containing a 3D-printed bombsight for the model of the American bomber B-25J Mitchell in 1:48 scale. The part is made by direct 3D printing and replaces the simplified plastic part from the kit. The manufacturer lists the target kit as the Hong Kong Models B-25J.

What the bombsight is for on the model

The B-25 Mitchell was an American twin-engine medium bomber, famous among other things for the raid on Tokyo, where the aircraft took off from an aircraft carrier's deck. The bombsight was an optical instrument in the glazed nose, through which the bombardier aimed and determined the moment of release. That is exactly why it is such a rewarding detail on a model: the B-25's nose is large and glazed at 1:48 scale, and the sight is clearly visible in it. Injection-molded plastic can never handle such fine optics and their supporting structure — 3D printing can.

Use and Fitting

  • First remove the print supports from the part; work slowly, as thin sections snap off easily.
  • Before any further steps, wash the sight and dry it thoroughly.
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate (super glue) — cement for plastic does not hold on printed resin.
  • Apply a primer, then paint; metal parts can be picked out with dry brushing.
  • Do any sanding with airway protection.
  • Fit the sight before closing up the glazed nose — afterward you will no longer be able to reach it.

Who the Set Is For

For modelers building the B-25J in 1:48 who want the glazed nose to have something to show. Working with the small printed part requires patience and a steady hand.

This is not an airplane model. The B-25J kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.

FAQ

No. This is a standalone add-on part for the glazed nose. The B-25J kit in 1:48 scale must be purchased separately.

Eduard lists the Hong Kong Models B-25J kit in 1:48 scale as the recommended base. Other kits may need a small fitting adjustment.

Before closing up the glazed nose — once the clear parts are glued together, you will no longer be able to reach the spot.

Clean it from the print supports, wash it, glue it with cyanoacrylate, and apply a primer before painting. Protect your airways when sanding.
