I glossed over "1/48" and "monogram" and clicked expecting one of these:

Ampeg B-25 2-Channel 55-Watt Bass Head | Reverb

Carry on, both the model and the model's template look great.

Looks kind of dusty. Use a soft long bristled brush to clean it off.

I used to work with a guy whose grandfather flew one of those in the war. It was the version with multiple .50 calibers in the nose. He said when they went to strafe a ship, he would line up on the ship, open fire, and then just rock the rudder pedals to spray lead from side to side.

Good enough for Doolittle…

Had a Shop teacher in H.S. who flew Medium Bombers. He use to say the B-25 was a lumberwagon and the B-26 was a hot rod( If you survived the training)

Yes they called the 26 "the Widow Maker"

As a Vietnam era veteran and the son of of a WWII and Korean veteran, I have to ask “Why?”
Petty was a race car driver who never served the country. The draft was in full force, and he was prime age for Vietnam. Fwiw, the last name placed on the Vietnam War Memorial was the first acknowledged death….1956. His son’s name was on the wall years before the father’s name went on.
Hey, Elvis served! Why not paint a guitar on it with a hip-shaking girl adorning the front of the plane. You also covered up the bombadier’s ‘office’ at the nose. That looks really odd to my eye. I used to draw WWII air and naval battles when I was a kid and knew such Details.
