Description
The North American B-25J Mitchell "Glazed Nose" (often referred to as the glass-nose or greenhouse nose variant) represents the definitive and most numerically produced version of World War II’s famous medium bomber.
Named in honor of General Billy Mitchell (a pioneer of American air power), the B-25J was built in massive quantities at North American Aviation’s Kansas City plant, with over 4,300 "J" models rolling off the assembly lines.
Unlike its sister variant—the B-25J "Straffer" (which replaced the transparent nose with a solid metal shroud packed with up to eight .50-caliber machine guns for low-level ground attacks)—the Glazed Nose version was built for traditional medium-altitude level bombing.
- Highly detailed cockpit, bomb bay and landing gear
- Accurately engraved panel lines and rivets
- Masking seal included
- Select from two markings
