Airfix has provided additional information of the two marking options for the next release of their 1/72 scale North American B-25B Mitchell including one for the Doolittle Raid

”The latest release from our popular North American B-25 Mitchell tooling (A06020) includes additional parts to allow the early ‘B’ model of the aircraft to be modelled, a variant of the Mitchell which may not be amongst the most heavily produced versions of this famous medium bomber, but one which occupies a particularly important position in US Army Air Force history and indeed that of the entire Second World War. The aircraft which announced America’s offensive introduction to WWII and served to effectively demonstrate to the world that America would stop at nothing until they and their allies had emerged victorious from this conflict, the B-25B flew off the small, heaving deck of USS Hornet and into the pages of military history, making national heroes of the 80 brave men who volunteered for this perilous, yet hugely symbolic mission.

An exclusive first look for workbench readers at the additional parts which will allow the modeller to produce this famous variant of the B-25 Mitchell bomber.”
