Hello,

I'm particulary fond of this aircraft and want to build one. Unfortunately, I believe Monogram was the only manufacturer that put out a B-25H, but that was long ago.

I see that Revell makes an J model, and Accurate Miniatures makes a G, these are the two 75mm cannon armed models. Does anyone make a conversion kit to change the B-25J to an H?

I assume we are talking 1/48 here ?

Yes, 1/48 scale. I forgot to mention that.

I think your right the 1/48 monogram kit is it, Two varients included are the OD colored version and the Aluminum colored "Finito Benito" version

I'm pretty sure the revell and monogram kits are the same base kit, but with different noses and maybe a few other bits changed.

The Accurate miniatures kit is of course better, but not a late enough model (as you know). However, I think it is possible to rob some parts from the monogram/revell kit and perform some surgery on the AM kit to add those (put in forward upper turret, remove rear upper turret and lower turret, add later style waist gunner's windows, and use the side gun pods from the monogram/revell kit), as the basic outline of the aircraft remained the same. the AM kit includes the later style rear gunners position as an option, and the engine nacells would probably have to come from the monogram/revell kit. you'll probably have to adapt some of the other monogram/revell parts as well, but basically I think it could be done (and i have been thinking about it for a while).

and while the AM kit is much nicer, better detailed, etc. - just keep in mind putting it together is no walk in the park. it's a darn good kit, but a bit tricky to get together smoothly.

in fact, why don't you go ahead and start this - that way someone is sure to release a new tooling of the later model B-25s! :-)

Actualy the B-25H rear fuselage was 7 inches deeper than previous versions. Accurate Miniatures first released the B-25G as a conversion kit. If you could find one of these it would provide the necessary parts to graft onto he Monogram kit.
