got mine preordered already. I agree that I hope this all leads to a B-25. The possibilities would be endless with it. A squadron of B-25's hanging from the ceiling with their P-51 escorts or a gun nose version swooping down on a hapless japanese transport -what a sight.

I'd be more impressed by the size of that person's ceiling.
In a heartbeat I'd order a B-25 though... That was one I really was hoping we'd see aftet its rumor. Big and expensive? Sure, but I was giddy at the thoughts of a ETO deco and crewing it up nice and spiffy.

Judging by the price tag on the P-51 repaint (and that's a 3,200 piece production run), a brand new 1/18 scale B-25 model with all the bells and whistles would be around $1,500 ($2,000 if JSI produces it). So I'd say chances of it ever being released are slim to none.

But look at the bright side. If we buy enough of the over priced Mustang repaints we may actually have an opportunity to pay $500 plus for a B-25.
On a serious note, if AG does produce a B-25, it will be very expensive considering the Mustang will cost $100 out the door. For now, I am happy with my slightly out of scale Flying Styro B-25. It looks nice and it can actually fly. I still think one of the current 1/18 companies should release some of their planes in kit form.
