I masked and painted the red turbine warning stripe. I don’t like long thin decals. The decals I bought are ALPS printed and the whites look very thin and transparent - multiple copies are supplied so you can d […]

Great entry and what a beautiful start made on that interior, David @dbutlr
-
Great progress, Tom @tcinla
-
Yes one can easily not pay attention mixing up the cowling parts. Good tip. Already found that the horizontal stab will not have the same problem that is a big issue to address on the Monogram kit. Will be […]

Great research on the cowlings, my friend @kahu!
-
Excellent entry and ditto progress, my friend @jimh! Looking forward to your next steps!

Excellent entry and ditto progress, my friend @dbutlr! I would try to stuff some weight in the fuselage where it would be invisible, but, mainly, I would add to the nacelles as much as I could.
-
Looks excellent so far, my friend @tcinla!

It's as easy to assemble as an Eduard P-51D (some may argue with me that that's the case) and it certainly is as "definitive" as the earlier kit.
-
Hi, David (@dbutlr): Planes like the glass-nose B-26 are tough for finding space for weight. I built a glass-nose B-25 not long ago, and managed to cram some heavy washers under the floor in the nose. I also […]

Million dollar question right there @gblair, I'm still thinking it over so I am trying to kick the can down the road by working on some of the other subassemblies- I've seen someone else on the internet put […]

Looks good already, Jim (@jimh). The P-51B and P-51C are my favorite Mustangs, and I have built several of the Tamiya versions. Looking forward to your build of the Eduard kit to tune up for Eduard's new early Mustangs.
-
Been threatening to build one of these for 2-3 years now. With the release of the B and its pending arrival, it’s time to get tuned up. Still not sure which one this will be, probably Cripes 3rd or F […]

Sign me up for this one, David (@dbutlr). One of my favorite bombers, and I have both the gun nose and the glass nose versions of the Monogram kit. I will be taking lots of notes. Cockpit looks really good. […]

A few weeks ago I recently resumed building on my long shelved ICM B-26k counter invader from over a year ago. For reasons I can't explain I was randomly browsing the Ebay and put an offer of $30 for an unopened […]

Looking forward to seeing you progressing on this one, David @kahu
-
First things first decided to investigate the cowlings since that is one of the bigger fit issues with the Monogram kit. They fit very well. The cowlings are identical. With the carburetor intakes found a […]

Looking forward to it, my friend @kahu!

You are welcome Chuck @uscusn. You can do it!
-
Since I now have my greedy mittens on the kit I figured I should create a WIP entry for the menacingly beautiful Marauder. But for right now this will be low priority as I bring other projects to the finish line. […]
