Detail shot of the upper turret. Aurora provided its B-25H with the flat turret dome of earlier B-25's. I couldn't use it. I've made a resin master out of ID Model B-17's upper turret and vacuformed mine with Mattel's vac machine.
The clear reinforcements on the side are thin stripes of clear decal.

Though the inside of the turret is not clearly visible, I made all the inner structure for a total of about 40 single pieces.

This view shows a few details of the interior of the nose compartment: the fire estinguisher, ammo boxes, the ammo belt to the machine gun. Not visible in this shot, I've also used Revell P-38 Drop Snoot's Norden bombsight.
Color pic of the real aircraft shows that the fuselage in front of the cockpit was of a different color, perhaps the original anti-glare green, with lot of fading.
