ESzczesniak Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I will soon be acquiring an HK Models B-25J and full aftermarket set. I am looking for a good reference book to help guide the build. I've seen the usual Detail and Scale, Squadron Walkaround (which based on reviews is all restored warbirds?) and a B-25 "An Ultimate Look". Does anyone have experiences with any of these books (particularly the latter), and/or recommendations? Thank you in advance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gmat Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Not quite a detailed guide to the B-25J but very useful on the B-25 as a whole. Better for information on the earlier versions. B-25 Mitchell: The Magnificent Medium. Norm Avery https://www.amazon.com/B-25-Mitchell-Magnificent-Norm-Avery/dp/0962586056 B-25 Mitchell: Warbird Tech Vol. 12 Frederick Johnson also has illustrations from various tech manuals. https://www.amazon.com/North-American-B-25-Mitchell-Warbird/dp/0933424779/ref=pd_sim_14_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0933424779&pd_rd_r=S24SZ6B1XX03MH6KVB07&pd_rd_w=iMvgK&pd_rd_wg=3KHcU&psc=1&refRID=S24SZ6B1XX03MH6KVB07 Grant Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ESzczesniak Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Thank you both. I'm going to give the Ultimate Look book a try. All but one review on Amazon is excellent and it sounds very thorough. If that's a bust, then I'll look more in to the others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
100th BG Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 You might also consider getting one of the B-25 Maintenance Manuals on CD that are available on Ebay. If you are looking for airplane details, they are hard to beat! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
