Good job Kevin

Nice work!

Thanks, I should add that the B-26B is a Ron Crawford HBM model while the B-26A is a Ron Crawford HBM model modified by Armaments in Miniature (AIM). Both are available through AIM.

Cards are available for the B-26, if you need them: Pour me a Maurader

Will you be doing a decal set for the B-26B? I have the AIM model in hand and painted, and have an AE Models Marauder on order, but so far feel restricted to 'plain jane' B-26 schemes, because Marauders often (if not usually) had extremely colorful nose art that normally covered both the OD and Neutral Gray portions of the fuselage, as well as being a little beyond the resolution of my laser printer in 1/200 scale.

Darryl, I plan to make a few sheets. I've done preliminary work for two units. Do you have any particular units or aircraft in mind?


I have a similar issue with resolution. When the detailed graphics go down to 2-3mm things get a bit overrun. Kevin

Nothing in particular, although if you were able to do 'Flak Bait' (449th Bombardment Squadron 322nd Bomb Group) I know the markings one of my Marauders would have . Definitely looking forward to the B-26 sets.

Thanks!

Darryl, I'll see what I can do.
