This Die-cast metal airplane model comes in 1:100 scale with plastic stand and is approximately 6 1/4 inches long with 8 inch wingspan. The B-25J Mitchell is a medium bomber named in honor of General Billy Mitchell, a United States Army general who is widely regarded as the father of the US Air Force. The B-25J is a two-engine propeller driven aircraft with an H-tail configuration and is considered to be a safe and reliable aircraft. It was the ultimate evolution of North American Aviation’s versatile medium bomber. "Betty’s Dream" became an icon of the 499th Bomb Squadron, famously recognized by its menacing "bat-out-of-hell" nose art and its role as a lead ship during the Japanese surrender ceremonies. The paint scheme honors Captain Charles E. "Pop" Rice, Jr. of the 501st Bomb Squadron, 345th Bomb Group (the "Air Apaches") who piloted the bomber in 1945. This Postage Stamp Series die-cast model captures the "Betty's Dream" legacy in stunning detail, making it a must-have for history buffs and aviation enthusiasts alike. From the glass-nose bombardier station to the twin-tail configuration, every line stays true to the original North American Aviation design. A heavy-duty, high-quality metal body that provides a premium feel and long-lasting durability. Collectible ages 14+
