  1. Wow, that is a very impressive display of your talent. The gray and blue Marauder is especially striking.

  2. You call 12 a good number, to me building 12 Marauders at such level is an impressive number, Santiago @diamant01
    All of them equally beautifully.
    Well done.

  3. Now that’s dedication. And to maintain a consistently high level of modeling throughout, well, my hats off to you sir. I like the aesthetics of the B-26. At the end of this year, ICM has announced a new mold 1/48 Marauder which I await with bated breath. I will not be building 12 of them and in fact will be pleased to complete one. And I am hoping it comes out as well as any of your examples. Congrats.
