History:
The North American B-25 Mitchell was one of the most versatile medium bombers of WWII, operating in every theatre of the conflict. The B-25G variant marked a shift in the aircraft’s role, replacing the glazed bombardier nose with a solid one housing a 75mm M4 cannon and multiple .50 calibre machine guns. Designed for ground attack and anti-shipping strikes, the B-25G was flown primarily in the Pacific theatre, where its heavy firepower proved devastating against Japanese shipping and fortifications. The shark mouth nose art added to its fearsome reputation, making these aircraft memorable symbols of American air power. Academy’s 1/48 scale kit captures both the technical detail and visual impact of this distinctive bomber.
