Eduard – 7012 – B-25J Mitchell STRAFER (ProfiPACK)

Description:

B-25J Mitchell STRAFER
ProfiPACK

Unassembled plastic model kit in 1/72 scale of a U.S. WWII North American B-25 Mitchell medium bomber aircraft. The “strafer” nose housed eight centerline Browning M2 .50 caliber machine guns and was different to the pure bomber configurations.

Eduard repacks the excellent Hasegawa kit for the B-25J, as already did in the limited editions Eduard – 2139 – GUNN’s BUNNY and Eduard – 2140 – ANGEL OF MERCY. In this case the kit includes 5 different markings, pre-colored PE parts and paint mask. Note that Hasegawa did not issued the solid nose parts in the standard kit but in a limited edition code number 00680 B-25J Mitchell “Solid Nose” released in 2004 and largely out of production. The configuration is the same used in the Eduard 2139 – GUNN’s BUNNY kit but in this case doesn’t include new resin wheels.

Hasegawa kit was tooled in 2003 but still is considered one of the best B-25 you can find in 1/72 scale.
