looks like the hard parts done

Looking forward to this build. Have this kit as well, but won't attempt it for this GB, it would take me too long to build it. Have the Airfix 72nd scale kit which is pretty detailed for an older kit, but also have an Eduards detail set for it as well which is quite extensive and wouldn't fit in with this GB either. So enjoy the project Gregor, your off to a great start.

Hey Frank, Looking great so far, I'm sure with another belt of the "Irish spirit" it will progress seamlessly...Looking forward to the completed model!

That happened to be our profanity filter kicking in. Fixed now...

Looking Good Frank, Have you re-scribed the panel lines it looks like you have sanded top surfaces of the wings and fuselage
iv got one of these in my stash minus the instructions would you be willing to post them to me when you are done with em ? i can pay you the postage costs via PayPal if you have an account but its no problem if you want to keep em Frank im sure i could find some a little closer to home if i try.

Cheers

A bit of an update on the B-26 and C-47. They are coming along. I will be taking a small necessary break in the construction but hope to return to finish these soon.

2 attached images. Click to enlarge.

Contrary to popular belief, the Marauder does not have a framed nosecap (done my share of those that way), but like the B-17 it is all plastic with no framing. Nobody's going to ding the model for doing this - (ye who are free of sin, cast the first stone!) - but it you want to get it right and can dip that in some paint remover that won't kill the clear plastic, you might want to give it a shot.

For further info, the D-Day stripes on the fuselage are the regulation 24 inch stripes for multi-engine aircraft, while the wing stripes are much narrower, so they only cover the wing outboard of the engine nacelle and inboard of the ailerons. That's not obvious from most photos, but it is what you want to do.
