Biafra B25 Mitchell
Here is one of two B25's used briefly at the start of the Biafra War of 1967-1970. Scale 1:72. This is the old Italeri kit modified and panel lines engraved. Weathering kept to a minimum as these things were not in use for long.

Beautifully done, Brian @info4
I was not aware that Biafra did use Mitchells.
Very nice camouflage scheme.
Thanks John, yea there were two apparently and a few Invaders as well.
I'm really tempted to try a T-6 in Biafran colors...

Go for it Brian, I have one of these in the stash as well...
How did you manage to get the photos to look like the B-25 got stepped on by an elephant?
Easy... just set camera to Jumbo setting.
Yep, that'll do it! 🙂
Nicely done, Brian (@info4). I am always looking around for unusual things to build, and this certainly qualifies. Nice job on the camouflage.
thanks man
That is an interesting scheme - and nicely done!
thanks
Great subject, great build. You've captured the aircraft perfectly. The Biafra/Nigeria conflict is one of my aviation interests. I'm going to build a DC 6 and a Super Constellation that we're used during the airlift.
Again, excellent build.
