Pros & Cons
Pros
The b-25 mitchell has to be one of the sexiest wwii *. Overall, highly recommended.
This is a great kit for a first time modeler. Prep work (sanding and flash removal) needs to be done before painting and assembly. My only gripe is the kit i received was a customer return.
Cons
Box was crushed and torn. Looked like it had been returned previously or possibly mishandled. Instructions are not accurate, decals won't come off paper. Box is very deceptive.
The defective parts (two) have a significant part of each piece missing (mishap during molding? This is not reasonable for complex models that take time to assemble. Don't count on this going together like a accurate miniatures kit.
Highlights
Quality
Great kit, good fitting, lots of detail and a nose full of ma deuces!
In total a very good model kit of the north american b-25 mitchell bomber, therefor in total 5 *
I was very disappointed with the directions which were very poor and vague.
Have not finished assembling this model yet, but happy with the quality of pieces and instructions
Price
It is hard not to be happy with what you get for the price.
I do find it a bit on the pricey side but bombers always are.
Shipping
Amazon shipping is fast and it’s suppliers are reliable !
The product was deliveredahead of time and in excellent condition.
Packaging/appearance
Looks great with its fellow flyers !
Ignore the reviewer that said he hated it because it was a box of gray plastic parts that you got to assemble.
Competitiveness
The earlier suggestion to use wd 40 for paint brush cleaning was a very good one, and very inexpensive compared to testor paint thinner.
I had built another revell 1:48 scale model before this, a p-51 mustang.

As with all plastic model kits a bit of prep work sanding and flash removal needs to be done before painting and assembly
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
In my opinion not for beginners
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The kit needs a bit of experience and skill to build for a good result
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
About 7080 grams balance weight in the nose area and inside of the engine cowlings are required for balancing so that the model stands on the nose wheel without the support on the rear fuselage not easy to hide

You will need some ballast in the nose so plan on that while assembling
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
This was a fun build but be prepared to use a lot of putty and sanding as parts didn’t fit together well
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Also the front windows were frustrating to fit together
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Every piece was made to fit snuggly
