Does anyone know if there is a B-25 kit produced in 1/72d or 1/48 scale with the Dolittle raiders markings and a large scale 1/400-1/300 scale kit of the Hornet available?

Accurate Miniatures makes the B-25B Mitchell in 1/48, I don't know if it has markings for the Doolittle Raiders, but they were pretty nondescript aircraft with nose art being about the only unique markings.

Trumpeter recently released the Hornet in 1/350 scale, so it should be easy to find.

That kit (#3430) has markings for all a/c involved in the raid, at least there are 15 sets of serial numbers and 5 examples of nose art. There is also the Italeri B/C kit in 1/72 which has marking for Doolittles own plane included.

And, Hasegawa is releasing a new series of B-25's in 1/72 scale, starting this summer.

HTH,
