Painstakingly built from Philippine mahogany by our skilled craftsmen with a wealth of detail, this 1/41-scale model B-25B makes a great aviation gift for any pilot, enthusiast or history buff. The B-25 Mitchell was one of the most widely produced aircraft of World War II, serving in every theater in a variety of configurations. The twin-engine Mitchell made the first strikes against Japan during the famed Doolittle Raid in 1942; served in Europe, and became deadly ground attack aircraft when fitted with up to 14 forward-firing machine guns. Development of the B-25 began in the 1930s as an outgrowth of North American Aviations XB-21 project. The new aircraft, called NA-40 by the company, was evaluated by the Army Air Corps in 1939 and ordered into production as the B-25.
