We are still in 2003. As this is anounced for 2004, it will probably arrive in june or july... It may be out of production but you will stll be able to find it without many problems. Be prepared for some major work when you get your hands on it...Jim

Hi there

All the best

HEYYYYY I built one of those, ONCE !! A very long time ago. And I Think I made a pretty good mess of it.. LOL SO It would be nice to re-build it again and do a better job of it. this time around. so Hopefully I can find one in my local shop pretty soon. One of the newer versions. That is.

Actually I hate scribing, but for my finishing technique I find it necessary. That's why it takes me so long to finish scribing, once I've started. I also have a P-61 which is partially re-scribed :-) However if you want to send me the kits, go ahead, but don't expect 'em back anytime soon or ever. (I don't have a B-25 )

Jim, Funny you should mention those Two. I have a Monogram B-25H that I've converted to
a B-25G on the bench, Long before Accurate Miniatures was even heard of. ALL RESCRIBED
And Im totally reworking the Mono P-61 to more accurately portray the real aircraft. The interior cramped kit is way out of scale and a MUNCHKIN would have to be the pilot. :-)

B-26 REVELL,
Yes I purchased one of these a cpl years back, when it came out as a limited
pro-modeler release. I havn't built it yet, because I'm not to enthused about baremetal and
I was waiting for the decal companies to reissue decals. ALAS........last Sept. I purchased
the release of "FLAKBAIT" decals, so now she will be completed. Along with my pics of her from Wright Pat, I should be in pretty good state> (:-)
