Here is a progress pic of my Accurate Miniatures 1/48 B-25C/D which I am building as a C that was used in Operation Torch.
None of the color demarctation lines will be viewable from the outside, which is why I didn't take my time on them. The aluminum is MM Metalizer aluminum buffing with sealer and future over it. I originally forgot to apply future and applied a oil wash without it. You can see my mistake on the bomb bay fuel tank. The bombs will cover this up.
The camera I have can take better pictures than that, I just felt like scaling down the qualitity.
The B-25 kit is great, but has some issues with the bomb bay wall inserts and the turrets. The bomb bay wall inserts don't actualy fit where they are supposed to. They just sit atop. The top turret guns just sit in a large cradle and can not be positioned unless glued into place. The ammo belt for the nose machine gun is very disappointing. I'll take a picture of it.
