You better post film of that.

The G's and H's had 75mm. The J's did not.

Ok, after reviewing the video several times, I have changed my mind on the model of the B-25. Since this B-25 has a co-pilot yoke, it can't be a B-25H as they had provision for one pilot only. Moreover, on the H model, the lower left-front glass was replaced with blast shield. Therefore, it must be a B-25G.

My regards,

Widewing


I suppose it would make most sense to start with a C/D model, add the G with the cannon, and possibly the D strafer models with the field modified 50s in the nose.

All built off the same model as opposed to doing a J version and having to move the top turret, add the tail turret, waist guns etc.

More bang for your modeling buck

C's were strafers too; same time frame. C/D is basically the same airplane.

The B-25D was virtually identical to the B-25C, and many of the innovations introduced on the B-25D production line at Kansas City paralleled those introduced on the B-25C line at Inglewood. Generally, it was impossible to tell the difference between a B-25C and a B-25D without a knowledge of the serial numbers.

Quitch was a C.  :)

Interestingly, my Dad landed his Inglewood C model at the KC D model factory when he left Savannah for the Pacific Theater. Spent a few days here while they fixed a few write-ups that she'd been carrying since acceptance.

So his C was fixed at the D factory. :)

From the sounds of the gun, they've modeled it as a tank gun on a plane, not just an aircraft gun.

Will HT model the cockpit filling with smoke by the third shot, and the A/C losing so much airspeed that it's on the edge of a stall?

gumption? woulda been gumption to  model it without the 75mm.
