A J' with the 8 gun nose could bring 14 .50's to bear forward 'you've been selected to play 'catch' today with the B-25's, may the Emperor smile on you'

Boy oh Boy, with all those 50's firing forward that 25 could create a lead mine real quick!

Good eye Jack! Two .50's were standard on the G, plus the cannon. Four .50's in the clamshell would become the H-model setup.

I like the early style blister pack and the first generation muzzle blast skin reinforcement. Just under the nose are two flat extensions that might be shell ejection locations ... that doesn't look familiar to me.

And the final goodie (that I see) - is that a zippered boot on the nose strut?

Surely you have a photo of that - would love to see (what I assume is) a rare variant of B-25.
