Real nice build, a joy to look at.

You lucked out and must have gotten the good kit , mine was a trial to build.

The kit was probably made on a Wedensday.

Chasing the ultimate build.

Really nice work there!

I've always thought the B-26 was one of the best looking twin engine bombers of the war but have been avoiding the Monogram kit. Guess I need to get off my butt and build one.

The local museum I build for needed a B-26 for their WWII case, so I scrounged up the old Monogram kit. I had heard horrible things, so I was braced for a fight. I was pleasantly surprised to find it didn't fit near as bad as I thought it was going to. There were still some issues, but nothing that a bit of putty and sanding couldn't fix. I decided to use the Flak Bait markings that came with the kit. I got another pleasant surprise when they went down quite well.
