259000? that cat is dreaming.I will bet the corrosion from all the bird scat has ruined the center section not to mention down the back fuselage.Just criminal letting that plane go to scat like that.

No IDs on them in the ad, but going through Scott Thompson's B-25 in Civil Service there are some possibilities:
44-29943/N943
44-30090/N9633C
44-30627/N45HA
44-30756/N9936Z
45-8887/N3680G
(I know they also have a B-25B and a B-25C but those seem less likely)

I think I have the perfect name and noseart

"Bird Droppings"
The noseart would be of a bird, probably a stork or something along those line, pooping out bombs or bomb shaped turds.

Is it still listed though? I haven't seen it yet and I posted about that a few days ago...

With mismatched feathers on his belly from the reskinning. :twisted:
