Justin,
Thx for the "frontline" report!
I have yet to decide on which B-25 to get but I think I might pre-order soon.
I have the same situation witht he 262, the Nowotny seems to be the keeper, but we'll see.
I received a Tornado lat week and I have no idea if it is accurate or not but it is BEAUTIFUL!
There is something about desert colors on a plane that make it appealing for me...
I found my favorite reference book from 25 years ago and it has to be the best book for WWII military planes out there.
it has plates of all major types and it gives four sided views of one particular plane and then two pages of side views of different variations. The plates show the planes weatheered and all.
I'll put the full reference later from home but this book is HIGHLY recommended.
Another one of German Aces and their planes is a recent aquisition and also excelent.
Justin I hope I NEVER find a store like the one you walked into!
It would be too painful, or too costly, or BOTH!

Have a good trip and thx again for the info.
Eduardo
