B-25 Mitchell: Complete

B-25 Mitchell  |  20 X 60  |  oil on canvas











Finished up the B-25 Mitchell last night. A true labor of love.

A little info about this particular plane. Today this aircraft is part of the Disabled American Veterans Airshow Outreach Program, developed to increase public awareness of disabled veterans and to serve veterans in communities across the nation. The B-25 Panchito, named after the rooster from Walt Disney's animated musical The Three Caballeros, is restored to the wartime markings of pilot Don Seiler’s B-25J from the 396th Bomb Squadron, 41st Bombardment Group, 7th Air Force. The original Panchito flew 19 missions over Japan from 1943 to 1944.
