As far as the P-61 goes I am trying to get back in touch with Allen Griffiths right now for an update. Will let you know what I find out. The P-61 is AM Tech, the B-25 is Accurate Miniatures (AM).

I want that P-61 when it comes out and I want that B-25 now. I have been eyeing this model for some time now, and I don't even really like bombers that much. Something about the Mitchell just is neat though. I look forward to seeing your review Swanny.

Not to change the subject too much, but has anyone heard anything about the P-61 that AM is fixing to release, other than the rather steep price tag?

Swanny,
I look forward to seeing your review on the '25. Hope it meets all your expectations.

That is one of my favorite a/c when it comes to bomber nose art...all of those "air apaches" had neat schemes. Can't wait to see your review. Big Smile [:D]

Not a decal, the kit includes paint masks for the nose art.

Those bat-face decals can be tough! The Monogram B-25 came with those markings at one point, and I had a hard time getting the decals to work right. Oh, and then I shot the model with Testors Dull Coat and wrinkled them right up. :(

This was 13 years ago, however, and I'm sure AM's decals are pretty good.

Just got this in the other day and have had to stop all other production just to study the kit. Very nice package with lots of detail and options. Watch for a review next week on my site.
