Gary Brantley Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Man, what a beauty, and a novel approach too with the electrification added! It's just a great scale model Michael and one that inspires me to dust off my plans for a three bomber, simultaneous build. I have this B-26 kit and the Monogram B-25, along with the AMT A-20 (all 1/48 of course) and have been thinking about the project for years. Maybe an "assembly line" approach would be possible that would streamline the process a lot. But where does one display three big models together? Gotta have another cabinet made! 😉 Did I miss any link to a WIP thread for your B-26? Perhaps I overlooked it... Thanks for bringing this masterpiece back for viewing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnHaa Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Michael, Thanks to Gary , just now I see your Marauder. What a excellent built, included all the electric goodies ! Pity I build mine in olive drab, this is much better. Wunderbar ! Cheers JohnHaa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was one of my greatest projects. I still enjoy a lot switching on the gimmicks when I have interested visitors at home. Don't execute your plan, Gary! It would make me jealous 'cause I got the Monogram B-25 which still needs an overhaul, and always wanted to add the A-20. But no time for the big ones at the moment. Not even for the Accurate Miniatures early B-25 in my stash. Man, would this be a collection! Have a great rest of the weekend, Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus999 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Fantastic! Beautiful presentation too. I especially love how worn the invasion stripes are and your NMF. Great job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Very, very nicely done, Michael. And a bare metal finish too! I can well appreciate all the work you had to put in to achieve such a fine result. Cheers Richard C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I'm not impressed with novelty electrics in a model but in the context of your photography, this works 'brilliantly'. My face lit up when I looked at those landing lamps. Also the prop blur made by the motors is really the only way to get an authentic looking picture. Great model and photography, well done. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toryu Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 It's the time of the year when this hazardous mission took place. I thought it would be alright to remember it. Merry Christmas! Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 What a magnificent model and tribute to some brave young fliers. The Monogram kit, while very much ahead of the time when it came to detailing, was known for its horrible fit issues, and you have done a bare metal Marauder, to boot! Loved the build and the story behind the airplane! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
