ITA 2787 B25G MITCHELL 1/48 Italeri 2787 1/48 B-25G Mitchell Plastic Model Kit COLORS INSTRUCTIONS SHEET - SUPER DECALS SHEET FOR 4 VERSIONS The U.S. North American B-25 Mitchell was probably one of the best medium bombers of World War II. The first flight of the twin-engine plane was done in 1939. Powered by two 1750 HP Wright R-2600 Cyclone engines, the B-25 was characterized by an extraordinary operational flexibility. Its nickname is in honor of General Billy Mitchell considered, in effect, the father and the founder of United States Air Force. From the first versions, used for the main task of medium bombers in level flight, it was progressively developed and implemented into further variations. Following the specific need for a ground attack and close support aircraft, the B-25G was created. It was equipped with a closed nose, instead of the transparent one, with two .50 machine-guns and a heavy 75mm cannon inside which made it a real "piece of flying artillery”.
