I wunder what the Current status of the one owned/operated by the ever so great Mr. Lewis (no *hangs head* relation...that I know of, but ya never know) is?

Wasn't it at the Doolittle Gathering? I think it is 'ever so great' that we have people restoring and operating these aircraft.

Mitchell 44-29507, former N320SQ and now PH-XXV will fly again in August after three years, the only airworthy B-25 not on the US register...

Nice Soviet scheme with matte paintings,
but, why, oh why, the anachronic modern pin-up ?

probably because the guy with the money wanted it that way

B-25? Oh yes that's the Army designation for the PBJ.

I suppose he can paint his airplane however he likes, but that nose "art" looks like a modern beer ad to me.

It's especially a pity on the B-25, as there are hundreds if not thousands of perfectly documented amazing authentic finishes possible.

Btw, why the "guys with the money" owning British warbirds never use anachronic (and often poorly designed) elements when painting their aricrafts ?

Oh, there are, but people go 'tut tut' and they never do it again.
