The B-25 looks interesting. Any idea on the quality of the kit?

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.

Jessie

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

Anyone know what the "special markings" on the SR will be?

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