1/48 Monogram B-25J Mitchell Emergency Strip- Expanded version with new pictures
Here is the expanded version of 1/48 Monogram B-25J Solid nose with new pictures. This was finished with the markings of “Emergency Strip” from 38th BG / 71st BS in Okinawa during August 1945.
The kit is old Monogram from 1991 with raised panel lines.
Modifications are::
– Eduard seat belts
– Cutting Edge B-25 late type corrected cowling set for Accurate Miniatures.
– Quickboost gun barrels
– True Details B-25 wheel set
– Resicast clear lens for landing/taxi lights
I decided to built this B-25 without side gun packs due to my reference picture.
Decals are from “Albatros- B-25 Mitchell at war / Dragon and tigers and girls….oh my” decal set.
Happy modelling

Your treatment of the tires/wheels is most convincing, something to aspire to.

I really like that B-25. You did an excellent job on the finish. So much fun weathering and fading OD. Great job and fun markings. I am putting finishing touches on my Accurate Miniatures B-25 in the Dirty Dora boxing. I would say I had all the same issues with assembly you did with the Monogram kit, I just hope mine comes out as nice as yours. Again Great Job!

Tolga .. a SUPER model .. AND you did ONE thing that is not done much on models ..the tires SHOWS a “flat” side on the ground …as much realism as it gets ..I look at some of my models that NEED “better looking tires”, and wonder where to get real looking tires !!! Inspiring job with details, paint job .. GREAT !!!!
