Good! Can't wait to see the finished product. I know that in the Phillip Gore FSM article the interior was very detailed. It looks like a good model. My Airfix B-26 on the other hand...

Great,

I think the B-17 was considered more of a heavy bomber than a medium bomber.

Raptor, I think the BF-110 was considered more of a heavy fighter than a bomber, kind of like a P-38. Sorry about that.

12 wings I have somthing that might qualify. I just picked up a 1/48 Fujimi Bf-110 D on sale. I am going to do the verson that carries bombs. If that works great.

Here is a great walkaround reference. This website is good for most any kind of plane, tank, ship, etc. If you look under Props at the right you should find your plane:

I guess the new badge is official.

I opened up  my B-26 today (got it in the mail) and saw there are raised panel lines on the fuselage. Do you guys have any tips for me to scribe them? Also i found that there is a lot of detail on the bulkheads and engines, but not much detail in other places. Do you guys know of any detail sets or good references so I can scratch build?

I second the motion.

Very Nice #12!

If the others concur, go for it! 

Hows this look?

The photo itself is way cool!......Perhaps if you could print "WWII Medium Bomber" across the wings......and add "G B" over the stabilizers.....the contrast would make even smaller font easier to read.

One the other hand.....I knew what it said without having to really read it....so I'm happy with the original.

Thanks, Dave.

 WOOOHOOO. I'm in my second GB.....

I got those two kits A and B.

Mirage Hobby made those as short runs. Out of production for some time. Those may be available somewhere at LHS but squadron does not have them anymore.  The kit has a lot of aftermarket parts and i am going to get all available including engine details.

I saw one very bad review of this kit made by Swanny but to build this kit you have to dedicate your hearth to it otherwise it will be a struggle. 

I saw absolutely fantastic builds of this kit and I wish I can make something like that.

This model was made by Maciek Zywczyk

GZT where did you get that kit?????

I've seen that pic somewhere before......awesome greenhouse nose on that babe! 

half of the B-25 weight and same bomb load and almost the same speed with half of the engine power this must be good enough , isn't it ?

gzt, that looks good for the GB. I'll put your name on the list.
