Hasegawa 00546 1/72 B-25J Mitchell

Hasegawa has done it AGAIN! Their B-25 doesn't just raise the bar for 1/72 kits, it puts it in orbit! This kit features a full interior - cockpit, bomb-bay, rear gunner's area, bombardier's area, etc. The internal rib structure is fully represented, all the boxes and gear is there, the seats even have the lap belts molded in and the guns have dimpled cooling jackets! It's like a certain 1/48 kit got pantographed down! Surface detail is also exquisite, with very crisp recessed panel lines and raised detail where appropriate. Decals are included for 3 planes, all "gunships" with extra .50 cals in the glass nose: "Jaunty Jo" and "Miss B Havin" of the 498th BS, and "Bottoms-Up II" of the 486th BS. Although not called for in the instructions, the kit also features the "standard" nose glass for a stock B-25J if you do not want to build a "gunship".
