North American TB-25J 43-27712 US Air Force

These are 1/72 scale decals for North American TB-25J Mitchell, serial 43-27712, assigned to the Headquarters, 10th Air Force, United States Air Force — a staff and utility transport variant of the legendary Mitchell bomber serving in the postwar Air Force Reserve command structure.

The TB-25J was the dedicated multi-engine trainer conversion of the B-25J Mitchell, the most-produced variant of North American's iconic twin-engine medium bomber. With combat equipment removed and the airframe reconfigured for crew training and utility transport duties, the TB-25 gave the postwar USAF and Air Force Reserve a capable, twin-engine platform for maintaining pilot proficiency and moving personnel and equipment between bases. The Mitchell's robust construction, docile handling, and twin-engine reliability made it a natural choice for the training and transport role well into the 1950s.

The 10th Air Force, with its distinguished World War II heritage flying B-24 Liberators over the China-Burma-India theater, transitioned postwar into an Air Force Reserve numbered air force responsible for organizing, training, and equipping Reserve units across its assigned region. A Headquarters aircraft like 43-27712 would have served as a command transport and proficiency trainer for senior staff — a visible symbol of the 10th Air Force's continued presence and mission in the postwar era.

A distinctive staff and headquarters subject representing the twilight of the Mitchell's long and storied service life. Please allow some time for decal printing and shipping.
