Strange to not have seen any 'flying' photos of this?
Is this a RATO take-off foto??As memo serves the landing wheels were retracted back without the swiveling like for the Curtiss P-40. .The main wheels were retracted into the nacelles and therefore there is the bulge seen at the wheel bay doors when closed. Also there was an oppening in the bay roof at the back area where the main wheel was. In the same way the nose wheel was retracted too.. Here is a shot of a B-25 during retracting of the landing gear.

Thank you for the confirmation, Wurger..According to my knowledge yes it is.
It is also my case, I resume modeling after several years.I will never cease to be amazed at the information that is available, and offered, on this site. Many thanks to all who have sent the information.
And SANCER (Luis), unless you can send some 'skills' I'm good with the instructions and the detailing. Got back into modeling after many years; was supposed to be a 'patience' lesson for some grandsons. Well, that didn't work out so well, but I'm hooked again! This landing gear detail just tweaked the engineer curiosity in me.
