Fuad Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Hi, everybody! It's my next model from excellent "Hasegawa". I used two etched set (interior+exterior) from "Eduard" and "Miniworld's" gun barrels. 65 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc72 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Most impressive as always with your models! Did you use a silver pencil for the paint chips (I think I asked that before on your B-25)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Schilhart Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Absolute top class model! Excellent choice of markings, superb paint job and clean assembly. It really looks like a well-worn service aircraft. This will be a sure winner at the next modelling contest. You could have maybe added more weight effect to the wheels, given the fully loaded aircraft, but I guess, that's just a matter of taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Delta 210 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Wow, that's one incredible-looking model. Did you draw inspiration from the famous well-worn "Flak Bait" airframe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, loaded wheels would be welcome. I couldn't find ready-made for this model. And I was too lazy to remake the wheels from the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I didn't want to use decals from Hasegawa - they are too thick, you know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashley353 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Fantastic Marauder build; one of the best I've seen. A small correction on the historical caption, the 386th Bomb Group left Boxted in September 1943 and were based at Great Dunmow (also in Essex) until early October 1944. Keep up the great work.

kapam Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 The usual superlative work. I have Hasegawa's B-27 in my stash, though I may never get it to the standard on show here. Superb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 A little overdone on the panel lines for my taste, but another outstanding model from your bench Fuad.

72modeler Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Fuad, Yowzah! That is one beautfiul Marauder, and you have re-created the scuffing and paint chipping so common on the B-26 as Martin dispensed with applying zinc chromate primer to save weight and man hours, so the O.D. and neutral grey wore and chipped excessively. Your usually outstanding fit and finish, too, but we have come to expect that consistent quality from your builds! 👍 Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyGair Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Another fantastic build Fuad. Seeing your models always inspires me to try harder on my next build..... then I fail miserably!🙄. Still, I can always hope!! Davey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmouredSprue Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Stunning model as usual. I really like the weathering in overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
