About product

North American B-25 Mitchell, volume 73 of the Warpaint series

A publication, not a kit. Volume 73 of the aviation series from the British publisher Warpaint Books, by Kev Darling, is devoted to the North American B-25 Mitchell. The color artwork for the volume was prepared by Richard J Caruana. The text is in English and the softcover format is close to A4.

The real subject

The B-25 was an American twin-engine medium bomber named after General Billy Mitchell, an advocate of an independent air arm. Today it is best known for April 1942, when a group of Mitchells took off from the deck of an aircraft carrier for the raid on Tokyo, although it had not been built for carrier operations at all. The type changed a great deal during the war: the B-25G and B-25H versions received a 75 mm cannon in the nose, in the Pacific there were conversions with many machine guns in the nose for low-level attacks against ships and ground targets, and some of the aircraft went to Allied air arms, including the British and the Soviet. The differences between the versions are clearly visible on a model, because they change the whole nose and the armament.

What the book contains

  • the development history of the type and its combat service
  • photographs of the aircraft in the individual versions
  • color profiles of camouflage and markings
  • scale drawings as a basis for the build

Who it is for

For modelers who build the Mitchell in 1:72 or 1:48 scale and need to tell the versions and their markings apart, and for anyone interested in the bomber forces of the Second World War. The extent of the volume is not stated here; the page count differs between the individual titles in the series.

FAQ

No. It is a printed book about the real aircraft. There are no plastic parts or decals in the package; the publication serves as a reference for building and marking a model.

The volumes of the Warpaint series follow the history of a type across all its main versions, and so across the aircraft with heavy nose armament and with the 75 mm cannon as well. The actual arrangement of the chapters is not stated here; the text is in English.

For the raid on Tokyo in April 1942, when Mitchells took off from the deck of an aircraft carrier even though they had not been designed for carrier operations. Otherwise it was a versatile bomber that served on every front.

It is not stated here. The extent differs between the volumes of the series and the figures given for this title do not agree. It is a softcover format close to A4.
