Just finished the Revell 1/48 scale B25J Mitchell. Upper Olive Drab color is Tamiya AS-6 and the underside is AS-12 Bare Metal for a natural metal finish. From what I read most B25’s were delivered in the NMF and paint was added in the field. “Jaunty” Jo and crew of five flew their last mission on May 26, 1945 while bombing a refinery in Taiwan. On that day Jaunty and sixteen other bombers approached the refinery just above the treetops dropping parafrag bombs that were designed to be dropped at low altitude with great precision. Parachutes delayed impact long enough for the aircraft to escape unharmed. After dropping her payload Jaunty was possibly hit with anti-aircraft fire opening a huge hole in the cockpit and crashed seconds later. There is some speculation that she was hit with parafrag bombs dropped from another plane.

Very impressive build, liking everything about it.

I can’t say I’ve ever seen so much detail work, extremely well done.

Incredible!

What a great looking model! Love your level stance.

Looks great! This is an enjoyable kit for sure.

Great looking stock Dodge.

Very nice build.

Just finished this one up this morning. Bought the kit years ago just to get the additional 4 Coke cases for my display. Paint is Krylon Apple Red.

Looks great!

Looks great, the trim and interior look exceptionally nice.

Turned out super nice Mike.

I had a cat in my driveway, I think his name is Bob…..

Awesome build, I love it. I built this in my younger days and I assume it fell victim to firecrackers or BB gun. Man I wish I still had it and all my other models.

Incredibly beautiful build!

Very nice!

Well worth the wait!

That’s pretty groovy paint and I like the rest of it blacked out.

My wife picked this up for me recently at Hobby Lobby when I had asked her to grab a can of MrHobby primer. Of course she was surprised I had already built one. Said it was the only one there she liked and the price was right at 40% off. I may be needing another can of primer soon! Paint is Tamiya TS-41 Coral Blue, no clear coat used. It’s an easy build once you take care of all the flash.
