Underside of starboard wing. Yes, the airfoil of a B-25 does actually develope
World War I stye under-camber out near the tip!

More of starboard wing underside and nacelle showing general detail including exterior
flap hinge and various fasteners. Watch out for the post-war scoop and
exhaust!

Rear view of engine nacelle.

Starboard cowl looking forward showing the cowl flap actuators and nice detail on the prominent engine accessory access panel fasteners. The area of difference with the wartime B-25s is the exhaust. There was several arrangements on the A, B,C and D models but the J of wartime had individual stacks for each cylinder, exiting through bumps in cowl. This photo shows one of the post
war methods.

In-flight shot of starboard engine accentuating crankcase detail and showing the
correct World War II version of the over-cowl scoop. It's low and thin- most
restorations have a box-like rectangular scoop originally fitted in the
1950's.

Front view of the port engine. This aircraft features the box scoop of 1950s vintage.

Engine close-up, showing crankcase and ignition harness, propeller governor, propeller
hub and markings

More engine crankcase and propeller governor detail (a frosty photo of a polished natural metal
airplane taken on a cloudy yet bright day.There's almost no color because
there was none to be seen that day!)

Firewall of the port nacelle. Lots of plumbing!. This photo should be useful to
any modeler doing a crash or maintainence diorama.
