The North American B-25 Mitchell is an American medium bomber that was introduced in 1941 and named in honor of Brigadier General William "Billy" Mitchell, a pioneer of U.S. military aviation.[2] Used by many Allied air forces, the B-25 served in every theater of World War II, and after the war ended, many remained in service, operating across four decades. Produced in numerous variants, nearly 10,000 B-25s were built.[1] It was the most-produced American medium bomber and the third-most-produced American bomber overall.

Hasegawa 1:72 North American B-25J Mitchell
486th Bomber Squadron
Italy, March 1944
quote:
"Bottoms Up II" (B-25J-5 43-27900, 486th BS / 340th BG) was flown by 1Lt. Clarence Morton and operated in the spring of 1944 in Italy and carried out various attacks against German military. During its 39th mission, on 12 March 1944, while attacking a railway bridge near Ora (northern Italy), the aircraft was hit by flak on the right engine, after dropping its bombs. Morton managed to fly "Bottoms Up II" approximately 600 km to the former base of the 486th BS on the island of Corsica. He made an emergency landing in which the aircraft was badly damaged and finally abandoned.

Here you a Phantom.
But I hate to admit I have never built an Eagle. I rarely do jets.

That’s interesting. In these pics it looks like it was (at least at some point) painted Olive Drab.

Thanks. It’s always been a favorite of mine as well. I think it’s the twin-tail that makes it look so cool.
