Dear Don, Now that's clear with the waist guns. Thanks for the link, I couldn't find pictures on the net of this type of waist gun openings. I'll check my books (warbird tech, D&S, Walk around, In action) for some detailed shots next weekend The only question remained is the red engine cowling ring. Now I should really get up and prepare my flight... Thanks for Your help, Best regards, Gábor

Dear Don, Unfortunately, I don't have the book. I'll ask around my fellows in Hungary, wether any of them bought it. "Page 46 of the same book also has a couple of images that show clearly how the field modifications of 12BG B-25C/D's were incorporated into the D2. The D2 and similar G-12 were interim models, standing between the field modified aircraft and the later, improved B-25H/J models. The 12BG B-25C/D modifications included removal of the bottom turret, cutting openings in the radio operator's compartment for waist guns and the addition of a tail gun position. " I'll try to find

Dear Don, Thank You for Your answer, it's quite detailed!. To be honest, I have to have a look on that waist gunner position, before going into modification. If it is "only a window with a gun plugged into" and not that waist gun position as builtfor J versions, it seems possible to build it. Could You name the references, where I can see photos of 'Mitch'? I have some books. I will spend the next 4 days in Belfast, but after that I will start the real work... Unfortunately, I have little time - have to finish it till August - so in case of difficult, time consuming modifications needed fo

Dear Don! Thanks for the links! Dear Matt! Thank You for the details. I mistyped the version, my future model will be a B-25D, USAAF 17th RS, 71st TRG, Linsayen (Philippines) May 1945, called 'Mitch the witch'. The part is a twin gun set. It is also controversial that the painting guide shows the engine nacelles have a red ring on their front, while the box art doesn't... Can I find some profiles of this unit somewhere? BR Gábor

Hi Folks, I'm building an AM B-25 B. But have no photos of the early style tail gun post. The instructions tell (italeri reboxing) that twin ,5 brownings were installed under the cut plexi window. They supply real guns, not dummy ones that had been used on Doolitle raiders. Is that possible? If yes, how diid it looked like? I'm also short of flap photos. I was planning to drop them into take-off position, but have no photos of the mechanism, wing surface and flap shape. I have the Walk around book, some other ones. Can anyone help?

Hi all! This is my first post on this forum. Few years before I posted a short article about my Spitfire Mk1. I would like to build the Italeri (Accurate Miniatures) B-25 kit in order to take part in a local contest of building italeri kits. The deadline is quite short, so I chose the B-25. I have plenty of detail photograps, but have no detailed 5-view drawings of the plane. I would like to tune up the appearance of the bird with rivet pattern. That would also help me to achieve a more life-like paint job. Please anyone who can help me, drop me an E-mail. Regards, Gábor
