    Here is a Dutch Pacific Martin WH3. Model by Mike Jacobs. 1000% better than the Shapeways plane available.

    From what I recall yours don't need much of that.


    Nice job, Peter.

    There are no top-down line drawings of a B-10 139 WH-3 worth speaking of.

    This is the best adaptation I can come up with based on color drawings of the WH-3:

    Note that this has a swept-back outer leading edge, as per the reference drawing I could find. Anybody have anything better? Any references that have the WH-3 with the leading edge straight, as in the model above?

    PS: Found another source for images of the WH-3, but with the same swept-back outer leading edge:

    Hi Mike,
    from the same source where you got your MH-3 views:

    "De Martin 139 was inmiddels verder ontwikkeld tot de Martin 166, deze was voorzien van één enkele cockpit overkapping, verder was de rompdoorsnede vergroot, zodat meer bommen meegenomen konden worden. Verder was de vleugel voorzien van een lichte pijlstand en waren de motoren vervangen door Wright Cyclone GR-1820-G5 van 1000 pk elk. Onder andere uit commerciële overwegingen werd dit type Glenn Martin 139 WH-3 genoemd.

    Eind december 1937 werd een volgend contract getekend voor de levering van 39 Wh-3’s. De acceptatie van het eerste toestel, de M-540, constructienummer 775, vond plaats in mei 1938.

    In november van dat jaar werd nog een contract getekend voor de levering van 40 WH-3A’s. Deze waren uitgerust met twee Wright Cyclone R1820-G102 motoren van 1200 pk elk, en verder identiek aan de WH-3
    "

    translated:
    The Martin 139 was further developed into the Martin 166, with a one-piece canopy for pilot and dorsal gunner. The fuselage got widened to carry a heavier bombload. Also changed were the wings that were given a slight swept back leading edge. The engines were upgraded to Wright Cyclone GR-1820-G5 with 1000hp each. For commercial reasons this type was called the Glenn Martin 139 WH-3.
    In December 1937 the ML-KNIL ordered 39 of them
    First in service (May 1938) was cn 775, callsign M-540.
    December 1938 saw another order for 40 WH-3A's with Wright Cyclone R1820-G102 engines giving 1200hp each. Otherwise those were identical to the WH-3.

    Not a professional translation, but better than google-translate ... I think

    Hope this helps.

    cheers,
