1/48th Accurate Miniatures B25-C Mitchell 113207

 

This model depicts “OH-7” late in it‘s career.

 

This was a B25-C that flew over 80 missions in North Africa and Italy from March 1943 to January 1944. 

OH-7 was an original 445th BS aircraft that made the trip to North Africa in late February 1943 when the 321st Bomb Group transferred from the United States to North Africa. 

Along with the severe weathering of the Mediterranean theater, the left rudder assembly was replaced with one from another aircraft toward the end of  it’s career.
