I'm gonna go look for them, but in case I get distracted by something shiny and forget to come back, have you tried http://www.rareaviation.com for the period publications you are looking for?

I know they have a great selection of P-51 publications along those lines, never looked for B-25s though.

Not cheap, but they have quite a bit. Maybe the Powers That Be could work out some sort of endorsement/info exchange deal?

This site looks like selling good *.TIF blueprints at reasonable prices, I didn't test it.

EDIT : after checking google it looks like quite a few sites are selling blueprints...this one looks more serious :D

Scan from a book. Not sure if it's helpful or not. I included the one right below it, as well because it's a near duplicate and is a good comparison.

its russian so i don't know if its accurate but its the best I have to go on.

I see some distortion in the drawings so I don't know if id trust em to line up the 3d model. it may not be a perfect scan. but most of the panel lines and rivet lines look pretty authentic for skinning so it will serve for the purposes I need at least.

tiff files they are very large scale my image hosting site cant handle em I guess but here the link to download them...

Lot of non-standard instruments and avionics in this picture.  I see a couple of after-market VOR/ILS heads, and some King radios and audio panel.  Intercom setup on co-pilots side above yoke, fuel gauge above co-pilots yoke, artificial horizon and directional gyro above pilots yoke.  All of this looks like after-market stuff.  I could be wrong about the fuel gauge--they may have had it overhauled, but the bright white numbering looks a little off.  Last, they've got a Hobbs meter installed on top right of the panel that I don't think should be there.

Waffle,

I don't know if this is of any help, but I have about 25 extremely hi-res photos of B-25J 'Panchito' taken last year, including closeups of the engine nacelles, interior of bomb bay, front glass, details of tailplanes, and interior navigator's area among others.

Let me know if you want them, they are large, about 1.7Mb each.
