You can track this plane down on ebay and elsewhere. I think there was a board member who recently was modifying this kit with XD figures in the cockpit, extra details, and all. Given that 21c XD figures are a little on the large side for 1:18 scale, they don't look too out-of-place with the plane.

There is also a B-25 kit made by the Cezch company Flying Styro that looks quite nice. Its about 1:17 scale, so its a bit closer to 1:18. Only catch is you have to build it and it comes with a lot of vacuform parts that one has to carefully cut out and sand whereas the Apache Princess kit comes largely pre-built...

i think it's 1/15 or even bigger, can't remember for sure but it's pretty overscale.

The one you want to get is the Flying Styro B-25, as it's the closest to 1/18. It's actually 1/17.1 IIRC.

Much cheaper than the Hobby Lobby one too. I can't remember the link to them but do a search on here and it will come up. Should cost about $200 shipped from the Czech republic. They make both clear nose and gun nose versions.

i just found the link viewtopic.php?f=1&t=23176
looks real big and large
great work also
never saw one before just surprise by the size .

[aferguson]

it's really nice but quite bigger than 1/18. If that doesn't bother you than it's the one to get. It's as detaile as the FSK (flying styro) one and bigger and bolder.

If you want as close to 1/18 as possible than the FSK one is what you want.
