The B-25 in that thrilling box art appears to bear the markings of my next door neighbor's unit, distinctive by the rather crudely painted while markings on the vertical tails. He flew with them in North Africa and Italy and said he never saw an enemy aircraft aloft.

That unit, equipped with C and D models with the aft mounted upper turret, added a tailgunner position that looked like a cruder version of that later incorporated on the H and J models. I guess that they found that remotely operate belly turret to be useless but still wanted to cover their Six.

A friend of mine recently picked up one of those at a swap meet. He paid $4 for it; it was missing a few parts. After struggling with it for a while (he builds A LOT of models) he pronounced it hopeless and said he hopes he can find a cheap 1/35 Sherman sometime to use to rob the running gear, which is partially missing as well as highly inaccurate.

All I can say is Good Luck! I'd like to have the 1/32 Monogram Grant or Lee if they reissue it.
 
I have done a bit of googling and if I read it right the first issue of the kit had incorrect suspension. Academy (it's not an Airfix kit only a rebox) retooled the suspension sprue for the second issue.

Your friend must have got an early 2008 kit.
