I would also like to learn the weathering technique that you used on the bombs - looks just like something I'd need for my PRU Spitfire. 🙂
Keep up the good work

Yes, I riveted it. It wasn´t easy because B-26 has lof of rivet lines. I use rivet wheel 0,55 mm manufactured by czech maker Dousek . Weathering on the bombs was made by brown oil color Abteilung 502.I used small piece of sponge and stippled on the bombs.

Jan,
What you have done so far is beautiful. Your detail for this scale is very impressive. I truly wish that Hasagawa would upgrade this superb kit to 1/48. Monograms 1/48 kit is good, warts and all, but it does not compare to this kit. I look forward to seeing the finished model.

Jan, amazing detail work in this scale, executed very well. Hasegawa has produced a pretty good kit of the Marauder, I have Airfix's older but good B-26B kit and Hase's B-26F/G kit as well. Your build is quite inspirational. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks ! Propellers and undercarriage are finished. Dust on wheel was made by mig productions pigments. Neutral gray on the bottom surface of aircraft. That´s all for this day.

The old Monogram 1/48 kit can be made to look as nice as this.
Jan Baranec said 9 years, 11 months ago:

Olive drab is finished. I used GSI color, C38 on the base color and C304+C69+C44 for shading.

Great Jan! Looks like you'll be ready for the deadline on Friday 🙂 - very nice work.
Jan Baranec said 9 years, 11 months ago:

B-26 is unmasked and after the wash now. I used migproductions - dark wash for oIive drab and mixture of black and faded gray oil colors abt.502 for neutral gray. Small scratches was made by small piece of sponge and very thin brush. I used acrylic wargamig silver color and for leading edge vallejo olive green.
