Used by many Allied air forces, the B-25 served in every theater of World War II, and after the war ended, many remained in service, operating across four decades. Produced in numerous variants, nearly 10,000 B-25s were built. These included several limited models such as the F-10 reconnaissance aircraft, the AT-24 crew trainers, and the United States Marine Corps' PBJ-1 patrol bomber.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow-on production at Kansas City, the B-25J could be called a cross between the B-25D and the B-25H. It had a transparent nose, but many of the delivered aircraft were modified to have a strafer nose (J2). Most of its 14–18 machine guns were forward-facing for strafing missions, including the two guns of the forward-located dorsal turret. The RAF received 316 aircraft, which were known as the Mitchell III. The J series was the last factory series production of the B-25 (number made: 4,318).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HONG KONG MODELS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42603519312033,"sku":"HKM-01F008","price":149.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/9754\/products\/med_res_8295360a-8ff8-48e6-a7ae-67dfbbfcd92d.jpg?v=1744321411","url":"https:\/\/www.hearnshobbies.com\/products\/hong-kong-models-1-48-b-25j-mitchell-glazed-nose","provider":"Hearns Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
