HK Models 1/48 scale B-25J Mitchell “Glazed Nose” plastic model kit review

A new tool of a popular plane that doesn’t quite warrant the hefty price tag

Growing up in the late 1970s and early ’80s, I had two choices for a 1/48 scale B-25: Revell and Monogram. Revell’s was an early variant, with the top turret aft of the bomb bay, and rather gimmicky (supplanted in the ’90s by the excellent offering from Accurate Miniatures). Monogram offered the later variants with the turret forward of the bomb bay and 75mm cannon (for an H) or either glass- or hardnosed (for a J).

While possessing excellent interior detail, the Monogram kit’s raised panel lines on the exterior have fallen out of favor with most modelers. Can HK Models’ new B-25J do for the 50-year-old Monogram kit what Accurate Miniatures did for Revell’s?
