Yes! 322nd and 323rd marking options! I'd love three, but I think I would need a re-mortgage.

I'm just going to cancel the holiday. She'll have to stretch out with a G&T and watch me build this instead.

Note that these images were only used for illustration purposes on the conference, the exact marking options has not been considered and chosen yet.

Hopefully they will release the resin bits separately for those of us that don't need the Eduard boxing because we already have in a few in the stash 😁

[Tbolt]

I wonder if they'll be boxing the F/G as well - the image only shows the B/C?

Oh god....

OMG!!!

I think you've already had the holiday binned by the current issues......

I wonder if they will sell overtrees with all the possible parts included.

Do they sell repacked (in this case Hasegawa) plastic as overtrees, or only of their own production? That´d be interesting. V-P

They have done this in the past, I remember for example the Hasegawa 1/48 Crusader and a couple others, so they could do it again.

My only problem for me is that at the moment they don't deliver to Italy because of the disruptions caused by the Covid crisis, I wouldn't mind laying my hands on a Hasegawa Marauder for a decent price

They also sold the 1/32 P-40 overtrees and it had the parts to do the E and M variants in addition to the N that Eduard released. This was a huge bonus since the Hasegawa kit is so hard to come by.

The markings can be seen in the Eduard leaflet (see leaflet thread for link)

They 100% did it with the F-8 as I managed to get two sets.

 

UK Price for the B-26 is about £40 !

That's doable. I haven't been to the pub for two months so I'm owed a treat.

Bear in mind that the kit is already almost sold out at Eduard, so once they arrive to the resellers there will be one chance to get them as there won't be any restock.

As with a lot of their specials. They know the market and plan what they can sell, so nothing left for the discounters 

[fightersweep]

So if I'm seeing right, there are four decal options from the same Bomb Squadron (497th BS), yet neither the 322nd or 323rd Bomb Groups are represented, despite being the first two B-26 groups in the UK.

Simple. 497th BS had a talented nose art artist, 322nd and 323rd BG didn't.

How are people pre-ordering this? I can't find any reference to it on the Eduard website at all, despit searching for both "B-26" and "Marauder" and also manually searching through their entire 1/72 kit offering

I couldn't either. But I've got one on backorder from Hannants.

[Work In Progress]

I can't even find it on Hannants
