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
Very nice job Tolga that is one of the best 25s i have seen keep up the good work
Tolga...Nice job. You made that old Monogram kit look good.

Your treatment of the tires/wheels is most convincing, something to aspire to.
Very good!
Best regards, Vlad.
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!
Thanks for the comments.
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 !
