Does anyone know how much nose weight you need to get this to sit on its nose wheel ? So far I have packed the bombardiers walkway and the area under the cockpit floor with BBs, still no luck. my next thought was to pack the area between the engines and the landing gear with more BBs. I know the kit comes with the little step ladder that you jam under the rear hatch but i like to do it unassisted.

Scale Aircraft Conversions sells white metal landing gear that adds weight to the nose and is stronger than the plastic kit part so the front gear can hold more weight that you add to the nose. They do make a set for the Revell/Monogram B-25. If you click the "links" button, other retailers are available.
