This
aircraft, contolled by Lt. Clarence Morton, had a very uncommon dress. It
crashed during a mission on March 12, 1944, above a railroad bridge in the
surroundings of a locality named Ora, when it was constrained with an emergency
landing in friendly territory by the shootings of Flak.
For
this kit, I used the new Hasegawa kit (B-25J Mitchell E16) with photoetched form
Eduard
(B-25J Mitchell Exterior 74424) as well as Express masks (B-25J Mitchell XS233).
Markings are from the box.
