Airfix has provided new details on its upcoming B-25B Mitchell model kit in 1/72 scale.
As previously reported, the new release (A06020) is based on the new tool B-25C/D released last year and includes additional parts to model the early “B” model of the type. The recent update provides a look at these parts as well as profiles of the two liveries included in the kit, which represent 40-2249 “Hari Kari-er” from the famous Doolittle Raid, as well as a machine from the 34th Bombardment Squadron which participated in the pre-raid “Louisiana Maneuvers.”

Airfix has released their new tool B-25C/D Mitchell model kit in 1/72 scale.
As previously reported, the offering (A06015) serves as a 21st century upgrade to the company’s previous 1/72 B-25 (which was originally released in 1965), utilizing “the very latest design and production techniques.” The kit is touted as “a highly accurate” representation of the machine, created with the aid of original construction drawings obtained from the Smithsonian as well as data gathered from an up-close inspection of B-25D FR193 (41-30792) based at the National War and Resistance Museum in Overloon, Holland.
Special attention has been paid to accurately reproducing the type’s “distinct gull-winged appearance,” which includes “a slight anhedral being incorporated to the outer wing area from the engine nacelles outwards.” Two livery options are also included representing B-25D-15 41-30409 “Lady Jane” of the 23rd Anti-Submarine Squadron and B-25C 41-12860 “Desert Warrior” of the 12th Bombardment Group.
