This was the first build of 2025 I built Academy’s 1/48 PBJ-1D (B-25D). The scheme is the “The Fork-Tailed Devils” of VMB-433 for the U.S. Marines located on Emirau Island, New Guinea 1944. I added some resin seats as well as photo etch details to compliment the model. I had to scratch build the boarding ladders and many details in the nose. For a reference I used William Wolf’s “B-25 Mitchell – The ultimate look” book. This covers everything on the B-25 from drawing board to flying arsenal as well as all versions including the PBJ versions.
