Very nice.
Very good representation of an ASW B-25. This "new generation" model really gives better chances to build a true beauty. You still can add the 3 recognition lights in colour
.May I make a small comment about the camo of this particular a/c?
Cheers!

Just riveting, some Eduard (interior, wheels) and some scratch-build (landing gear, bomb bay). The challenge was to find a place for a lead weight...

Riveters - RB production (single lines) or Dousek (double lines)
Tape - some kind of PES green transparent low adhesion tape (not Dymo - too strong adhesion)

Bomb bay detail and overall weathering is amazing!

I'm sorry I couldn't answer earlier due to major home-PC problem during the last few days.
This for sure is one of my favourite B-25-camo-schemes and I'll describe the detail which gives it the "bonus points" below.
I asked a question about this particular a/c ("Lady Jane" s/n 41-30409) because of the existing photos: I have 2 of them, one early and one late (based on the national insignia):
On both photos we see the de-icing boots of this a/c removed and the n/m surface below has been painted in white (colour slightly differs from the original one). Even before this change the leading edges of the wings and empenage were in white and not in OD.
In this forum we've discussed some photos of "Mitchell"s in the same camo-scheme. There are planes with de-icing boots:
or without:
Some remained "undecided"
, removing the de-icing boots only partially:In all these cases the leading edges (around the de-icing boots) are white - the white colour "wraps around" the edge, before or after the changes.
There are oder variations of the ASW-camouflage which were not the same as the one of "Lady Jane", but those are different a/cs.
P.S. IMHO the above shown a/c was received his camo "in field" - it looks like the white colour was roughly sprayed over the original NG. The rest of the a/c show a sharp demarcation line between the white and the OD.
Cheers!

Big thanks for your valuable comment. It is pity that I did not know all this before. I am little lazy to study more. I could not find anything but only 2 pictures on Google...Hi Ernihold,
