I am watching intently .
It looks like you have solved the worst fit issues and I'm looking forward to your next installment. Mine was a putty monster but in the end this kit turns into a great looking B-26 ( my favorite bomber). I only wish Hasagawa or Tamiya would produce this great plane in the future.
I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.
I am about to spray can Tamiya Primer. This will show me what still needs more work. Lots, I am sure!

Bossman Have you decided on whether this ome will be a natural metal finish or Olive ?
Have you decided on whether this ome will be a natural metal finish or Olive ?
Yes I have, Chris; it will be olive. I want to model Flak Bait; but the decals that I made from photos are very thick. If I find that they are not workable I may model Mild & Bitter. Both aircraft come from the same production batch and share similar service, so it would be easy to make the switch.
Looking good so far SW,
Chris
Well, Lananda, after beating myself up converting a B-29 to the Silverplate Enola Gay which included modifications, couple hundred scratch built parts, photo etch, and crew; I needed a brake! Never-the-less, I could not resist adding the bombardier's armor.
Actually, I am taking a simpler approach to all my modeling because I have far more models than I can finish in the time I have left to do any modeling; so I want to limit the time I spend on each project! Hey, I love the detail that you put into your bird!
Different approach but the box is exactly the same!
I feel that your building will be more enjoying that mine....
Have a nice job!
Working on: Breda BA-65 1/48
I'm definatey will be following this! Nice start on a very cool aircraft. Good luck on the seams.

No detail allowed, equals no wires!
The basic components almost ready to go together!
This kit requires alot of seam work. This is the worst one.
All seams required some work.
This is that tail gun position which everyone loves. You can see that there is more to be done here!
The B-26 was one of the first bombers to have butt panels, as opposed to overlapping panels, which are better represented by recessed lines; but the raised lines will do just fine! You may notice that the flight deck is green. Most B-26s were bare aluminum with back from the window frames up. However, the insulation was green. You can see it in the Flack Bait nose display as brown (that is faded green).
Greetings, I started this 1/48 scale build in February; but could not post it because Photobucket and my MAC had some type of disagreement. I noticed that Lananda has just started posting his excellent build of the B-26. It seems that I might be up and running again on Photobucket, so I decided to give it another try. We are building the same kit ; but we are taking different approaches. Namely, Lananda is going all out with detail; I am trying to build it out of the box almost. I had enough detailing on my B-29!
