Hey Frankie, the Marlin is looking great. Pretty cool building one of your Dad's models. Looks great for her age, heck, any age for that matter. Take care and God Bless, Paul from Florida.
I have that Aurora B-26 Marauder built up hanging in my basement. It's indeed a "clunky" model with battleship rivets all over. Nonetheless, I like it for the era of early plastic models it represents. Have fun finishing the P5M-2, B-25 and especially the York.
