Hi, guys! Its time to start my next project - classic 1/48 Monogram kit, B-26 Marauder. I like the shape of this plane and its weathered look. I did not decide yet which prototype to choose, may be variant from the box. I got some AM goodies for the model, they are from Quickboost. 
Well, gun barrels are for the B-17, but they are completely suitable for B-26. |

Cool! A very nice aircraft. I made the Invader type of Monogram 20 years ago. Are they the same? Or are there similarities?

Have always liked this plane. It's one of those that I'm not likely to build but I do enjoy looking at it when someone else does.

I luv the B-26....
The common mistake abooot the A-26 Invader is.... (not to be that guy....) The A designator was dropped from the then fledgling USAF. They killed of the Marauder after WWII, BUT renamed the A-26 Invader the B-26 Invader until it's decommissioning. I know this cause my dad flew them in Korea, He still called the A-26....shows to go why the controversy has lingered...LOL
