wdedig Posted December 25, 2013 Report Posted December 25, 2013 Hello This was completed yesterday and I am now completely grey haired. Cheers Bill Start Point Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays 1
ghodges Posted December 25, 2013 Report Posted December 25, 2013 Wow, that's absolutely gorgeous! And from a snap tite kit too! Love the pre-war markings and the way you painted the control surfaces differently. A couple of questions...is that a short span early "B" Marauder, and what did you use for that flawless NMF? Congrats! GIL
Ron Bell Posted December 26, 2013 Report Posted December 26, 2013 Well done, that man! Love to see some good ol' fashioned modeling.
wdedig Posted December 26, 2013 Author Report Posted December 26, 2013 Hello Gil The finish is Polished Aluminum Alclad over a gloss black Tamiya decanted spray primer. This a early short wing bird and that's why I used the Monogram kit Cheers Bill
Mark Deliduka Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 Holy crap! That is one of the most outstanding Marauders I've seen yet! Simply amazing; all the more so since it came from a Snap-tite kit! Grey hairs or no; you are a Master at BMF! Way to go!
ClareWentzel Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 That Snap-tite kit has been the most accurate shaped B-26 for quite a while. You did a great job on it. It looks like you have added cockpit and other interior details. I assume that you glued everything together and cleaned up the joints (the Alclad fuselage makes that very clear). Tell us more.
wdedig Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Posted December 31, 2013 Thank you very much for the feedback guys I have posted a build of the B-26 on 72nd Scale Forum. http://z15.invisionfree.com/72nd_Aircraft/index.php?showtopic=4229 I have also submitted a build article to Brett Green for Hyperscale. If more info needed please let me know Thanks Bill Dedig
ClareWentzel Posted December 31, 2013 Report Posted December 31, 2013 Impressive build Bill. The SAC parts are a great way to add nose weight as well as cockpit and wheel well detail. Your seats and everything else inside the model are spectacular. Thanks for sharing. Snelson is a club mate so now, I will have to push him to complete his B-26. Not holding my breath.
Spruemeister Posted January 1, 2014 Report Posted January 1, 2014 That thing is so shiny it kicked my ADD in. Well done. Rick L.
wdedig Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Posted January 3, 2014 Thanks Guys Figured it might be a clean ride in 1941 Cheers Bill
Mark Deliduka Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 Thank you very much for the feedback guys I have posted a build of the B-26 on 72nd Scale Forum. http://z15.invisionfree.com/72nd_Aircraft/index.php?showtopic=4229 Bill Dedig Wow, there's a 1/72 scale aircraft Forums too?

VonL Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 That Marauder is just stunning. I'm inspired.
