I love it! Here is the B-25 from the Canadian Warplane Heritage, I took the photo last March. I've been lucky enough to see it fly quite often as well as the Lanc.

What a big image mate  :-eek  :-clap Good for close up details. Here I am in the more progress on this plane. In this moment I work on B-25 and P-51 layouts but from next week I will add B-24 but also several profiles based on my old layouts. This will be heavy month for me...

Here are some shots I made two year ago at Lelystad airoprt during a Fly-in at the Aviodrome museum.
They all show the Duke of Brabant Air Force Mitchell. Note the nice artwork!

Plane was originally a B-25J-20-NC and was built in 1944.
It never saw any action during the war, but remained in the United States.
After the war in was converted into unarmed transport version.
Of course transport Mitchells do not need any turrets!
It was struck of charge by USAF in March 1959 and had several owners before it was acquired by DBAF in 1990.
Current colour scheme is correct, but version is not (yet) original!
