Hi, I would like to share with you the progress made by my father on these models. I still have to check some details about the colours of the N3817 and L5894. For example, some references show that N3817 painted in yellow the undersurfaces and lower part of the fuselage but some others mention a light color. Cheers Santiago

Hi. Thank you very much for your comments. Well, my father has painted more than 1.200 models so yes, 😜 This is the final list for the Martin B26 Marauder series. To be honest, for being a big model and the complexity of some versions (especially the Mk I) 12 models is quite a good number. 1) Martin B26 Marauder Mk I FK115 Heelzapoppin 45 Group Communications Flight (later 231 Squadron) Dorval, Canada 2) Martin B26 Marauder Mk I FK130 F 14 Fayid Egyptlate 1942 3) Martin B26 Marauder Mk I FK138 Cap Don McVicar Uk September 1942 4) Martin B26 Marauder Mk I FK158 Miami Florida July 1942 5) Martin B26 Marauder Mk IA B-26 FK375 D 14 Fayid Egypt late 1942 (desert scheme) 6) Martin B26 Marauder Mk IA B-26 FK375 D 14 Fayid Egypt 1943 (TSS scheme) 7) Martin B26 Marauder Mk II B-26C-30-Mos FB482 Uk March 1944 8 Martin B26 Marauder Mk II FB485 10 OTU Shandur RAF Egypt 1944 9) Martin B26 Marauder Mk III HD402 Uk June 1944 10) Martin B26 Marauder Mk III HD511 H 30 SAAF Sqdn Pescara, Italy September 1944 11) Martin B26 Marauder Mk III YY 3 Wing SAAF Lt Col A.C.

Thank you very much for your comments. To be honest with you, this is one of the series that I have dreamed to do for many years. It is incredible to see it finished. This is the last one of this series. 12) Martin Marauder B26 HD561 "B" served with 21 Squadron SAAF Cheers Santiago

Hi Our friend Luis has just finished the decals that we required to complete this series. One more Marauder is almost done. Cheers Santiago

Hi, That is great!!!. Thank you very much for point me out about it. We will add it for sure. You are right. My fault. It was a typed mistake. I have already amended it. Agree. My mistake again. Hi Alastair. Thank you very much. I think that we have the video. We got it for our glider series. That would be much appreciate. I will keep my fingers crossed. Thanks! Hi All our models are made in 1/72 scale. No, We will use the decals that we have and the rest will be done by our friend Luis who makes the ones we need and no exist. No. No. Yes, my father will try to do their best as usual. No too much interior details or weathering, etc. We try to represent all the versions in our collection scope. Cheers Santiago

Hi My father has finished one more B26 of this series. If everything goes well our friend Luis will give us the special decals to do the Martin B26 Marauder Mk III YY 3 Wing SAAF Lt Col A.C.

Hi, While my father is doing a couple of more B26 Marauder I am working on our next project. We would like to do the Tiger Moth series. I would like to add one Tiger Moth which could have been used as a glider tug (elementary glider). Could any of you help me with it? I will really appreciate any information you could give as well any other suggestions for this series. I have just finished the preliminary list with 44 aircraft selected.
