Tim Hatton [Litespeed] has found a new future release from AIRFIX, a new-tool B-25C/D.
Airfix New Tool 1/72 B-25C/D Mitchell

Airfix has released on their website CAD images of a new-tool North American B-25C/D Mitchell. There will be two choices of markings:
    -B-25C-15 ‘Lady Jane’ Tampa Florida

    -B-25C 41-12480 / DESERT WARRIOR Capt. Ralph Lower 81st BS/12th BG, Bolling Field, Washginton DC July 1943.

There will be around 165 parts including, if the CAD images are correct, a detailed bomb bay.

Price will be around £24.95. See the Airfix website for further CAD images.

Looks like it will be a fantastic kit and we're well overdue for a new Mitchell. Not sure about the marking options, but AM sheets will remedy that. I'll probably get a couple when they hit the shelves.

Surprised they haven't done a B-25 B with it being the 75th Anniversary of the Doolittle raid this year.

Airfix is a modeling Phoenix, rising from the ashes of the tough time they had in the 1980s. This model is one I want to buy.

Looks very nice. Having a browse of the Airfix site they have a new tool 1/72 Me262 on the way as well. They really are reentering the market in a big way lately! Cheers, D

Notice both of the markings options are not Doolittle Raid or RAF. That means we'll be seeing special alternate boxings for both of those options like they did with the P-40. ( remember, it was Raf, Pearl Harbor and Flying Tiger boxings) So I think they'll do the same here. Wonder if they will do a gun nose variant down the road?

Looks like a must have. This will be a great addition to the later production variant, made by Hasegawa

The Accurate Miniatures/Academy early B-25 kit looks very nice in the box, maybe an option.
