This 1:48 scale model recreates the iconic PBJ-1D Mitchell “Flying Nightmares”, the U.S. Marine Corps version of the famous B-25 Mitchell medium bomber, used extensively during the Second World War.
The PBJ-1D variant was specifically adapted for maritime patrol, night strike, and anti-shipping missions, equipped with the AN/APS-3 radar and heavy .50 caliber defensive armament.
The fuselage features engraved panel lines, detailed ventral radar fairing, movable dorsal turret, Browning machine guns, detailed bomb bay, and twin radial engines finely represented.
The cockpit and crew compartment offer complete instrumentation, accurate pilot seats, side consoles, clear openable canopy, and interior visibility through glass panels.
Weapon options include 500 lb bombs, HVAR rockets, lateral machine guns, and movable defensive turrets.
High-quality decals replicate the markings of VMB-612 “Flying Nightmares”, including the distinctive black radar nose and USMC insignia.
A model that perfectly balances technical realism, historical depth, and the unmistakable presence of the Mitchell in Marine Corps service.
