Product Description

1/32 Scale. 28" wing span. This is a Balsa-Wood model kit. The B-25 Mitchell was one of the most outstanding medium bombers of World War 2. Conceived in mid-1939, the first production model flew in August 1940 and the first operational success was scored on December 24, 1941 with the destruction of the Japanese submarine. In April 1942, 16 B-25s made a historic raid on Tokyo operating from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet under the command of General Doolittle- a raid that did little damage, but gave the U.S. a psychological lift during the early days of the Pacific Ocean hostilities. During the war years, the RAF, the Soviet Union, China Union, Brazil and the Netherlands also used the B-25. The H version with 16 guns and a 75mm cannon was the most lethal twin-engine bomber of World War 2. Skill level 2

Have not finished building it yet. The balsa pieces require quite a bit of cutting and sanding, moreso than other models I have built from Guillow. This is time consuming so progress is slow.
