First time participating in a Group Build, very excited to be here! Kit will be built to represent the aircraft ready to take off for the Doolittle Raid on April 18th, 1942. Bomb bay and hatches closed, gear and flaps extended. The Airfix kit is meant to...
Hi all, first post here. I’m certainly not the best modeler our there, but I love the hobby.
I’ll start off with my favorite build so far, Italeri’s 1/72 B-25.
For sake of concision, I'm limiting this to twin engine bombers which were produced in some numbers (at least a few hundred) and saw action in 1942 and 1943. And not the Mosquito because we already know that is the best.

I know a fair bit about the C-47 (ADF Serials)
A little about the B-25
But nothing about the Supermarine one, most likely Walrus? Any help?
Also a few sources say the B-25 was recovered once upon a time but where did it end up...

Do you guys remember the B-25 "Mitchell" bomber that sat at Franklin Airport, in Franklin, Va.
that I reported on quite a few years ago ? Well, I was in Franklin two weeks ago, and made it

I recently became aware of some guys in Michigan who are looking to recover and restore a B-25 Mitchell bomber that crash-landed into a Sandbar near Fairbanks, Alaska in 1969.
It's a pretty interesting story, and they've started a Kickstarter campaign for funding, too. They are looking to...
