1/48 Accurate Miniatures B25-C Mitchell

Gallery Article by David Rapasi on Feb 22 2010

 

This model is my version of "OH-7" late in it's career. This was a B25-C that flew over 80 missions in North Africa and Italy from March 1943 to January 1944.

OH-7 was an original 445th BS aircraft that made the trip to North Africa in late February 1943 when the 321st Bomb Group transferred from the United States to North Africa.

Along with the severe weathering of the Mediterranean Theater, the left rudder assembly was replaced with one from another aircraft toward the end of it's career.

The only additions to this kit are the scratch built exhaust. The antenna masts and the front landing gear strut were replaced with brass rod.

The model is finished with Model Master Paints, kit and homemade decals.
