So are you asking for the glass nose version or the solid 8 gun nose version? 

I'd imagine the solid nose wouldn't be a drone leading version, so it must be the glass nose?

Would love to see a B-25J in game, and since we're wishing I'd like the glass and solid nose as an option like -C variant.

What year did they enter service? I thought they entered later in the war?
+1 for it though any way I like the B-25's


(PBY-5A would be fun to  :noid )

Not sure when it started reaching operational squadrons (I'll keep looking) but I have the production numbers here.  The first B-25J was delivered in December 1943 of what would be a 4,390 aircraft production run (4,318 of those were delivered).

Really? 1943 is earlier then I thought. In that case...
+2 for B-25J

Not sure about other theaters or squadrons but the 345th Bomb Group in the south west Pacific started receiving the J models in the fall of '44 (September, October mostly).   The 5th Air Force was generally a little lower on the priority list than the other theaters so I would guess that the J models probably made it to southern Europe and the MTO a few months earlier, but that's just a guess.
