Notice the little logo on the upper right corner of the box? It's the Accurate Miniatures plastic

Not to mention reading the text:
"Quarterscalers can expect a reboxed Accurate Miniature kit of the B-25G „Cannon nose”, catalogue number 12590."

Ok, sorry but I am going to play dumb here. How was the Accurate Miniature kit? I am not familiar with that kit. Sorry, and thanks.

Accurate Miniatures was a description as well as a brand name. They were very good state-of-the-art kits when they were first issued.
Here's a look inside the box.
Here's one built up.
Some people complained that the cowling openings were a bit too small, but a little sandpaper rolled up into a tube soon solved that little problem.
Here's a build article showing how easy the fix is.

Thanks for the info. It is one of my favorite medium bombers, and looks like something I will have to get.

Looks like I'll finally be able to get my B-25 kit. All appear to be very nice releases.
