Josip Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Hello again! This is my redention of one of Hasegawa's best bomber kits so far. I think it came out pretty good, but that French guy who had also posted his model here, did it better. Aftermarket decals only, the rest iz OOB. It was painted with Revell and Vallejo acrylics. I believe there was also some moderate use of artist oil paints. The kit hardly needs any aftermarket additions, but the main wheels could be better. Therefore I would reccomend to get it in Eduard boxing. Enjoy the pics! Josip 63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Walter E Kurtz Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Hi Josip. A very nice Marauder indeed. Like the invasion strips and the dirty wheel bays! Thanks for showing this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Brantley Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Great looking bomber Josip! I've always liked the Marauder and have the Monogram 1/48 kit in my stash. I hope it would look this good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I echo the "great looking bomber" comment. Very nicely done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Beautifully done, especially with the worn-away invasion stripes on the top-side. Nothing I could argue with here. It looks first-rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookenbacher Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Fantastic paint work and weathering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I think that's brilliant! As a nose art fan, I particularly like the subject; and your weathering/staining is spot on. I also have the Hasegawa kit and feel inspired to lift the box lid once more - although you have set the bar high! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich G Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Really nice work, the weathering is great, looks like a well used medium! Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in a shed Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Excellent job Josip, outstanding build and paint finish, very realistic. The kit looks like its a good one, a far cry from the Frog one I built of many years ago. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Brilliant. The weathered top surfaces are particularly good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winenut Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Looks superb to me. Has a real "I'm here for some serious business!" look about it Well done indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-32 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 That is a super build, looks spot on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steh2o Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I like it! It is an excellent result and your paintjob is excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Very nice B-26- I think it's one of the best Hasegawa kit builds I have seen in a while. Especially nice weathering and the overpainted invasion stripes, too! Well done! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Indigo Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Very nice texture with the shades of green and the chipping! Considering the state of the surface, the decals could have taken an hint more weathering, too, but that doesn't diminish the overall appearance.

spruecutter Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Excellent work, Josip. I really like your end result - very nicely weathered. I am currently battling my way through the venerable 1/48 Monogram boxing and will do it in the same markings. It's the perfect kit for anyone who enjoys hours of fettling, filling, sanding and general fiddling about. I am getting there but boy, is it testing my patience! I am sure that ICM will announce a new, state of the art Marauder when I finally get mine over the finish line 😆 Cheers Richard C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Norman Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 My Word, Lovely. I do like this chubby Bomber but have not got one yet. someday, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notty Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) That's beautiful. Never tire of seeing the few builds of one of my favourite under modelled aircraft. It's screaming out for a modern tooled 1/48, or even 1/32 (HKM, radio check? 😎) Edited June 25, 2021 by Notty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rakovica Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 First class work! I only hope that some of the Chinese or Eastern European firms will do the modern 1/48 scale kit in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josip Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 Thank you all. It was a labour of love. As for the new 1:48 kit, someone here had mentioned the possibility of ICM doing one. Let us hope that they do as they already did that other B-26 called Invader. Josip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
