This is the first CDC bomber that landed in my hanger, and it's one of the first in the 1:48 series: Doolittle's infamous B-25! It
looks good from afar, but up close there are blemishes, such as a torn decal under the nose (happened removing from
packaging), and a loose main wing. Incredible "heft" factor though -- lots o' metal!
She displays nicely, if you've got the
room!
One of the last CDC models, note the
plastic lights--most new FM are painted.
A pretty  plain scheme overall: But great to have from a historical perspecitve. Note: the
red stripe near the nose tore off underneath upon removal from packaging.
