The workmanship on this project is amazing. The patience and sheer dexterity results in a strikingly beautiful completed representation of this iconic plane.
So. You took a basic kit and remade 70% of it. Awesome job sir. I love the plane and you did an amazing job. Thanks for sharing dude totally enjoyed watching it. Subbed
For weathering effects I had quite an experience. After painting only the fuselage I had to take a break building it. My 3 year old boy found it and played with it for months without breaking anything. And voila, the weathering effect was more than perfect.
I would have dry brushed the wires. And not necessarily the color they are in a reference picture. Just to bring out the fact that they are metal wires I think I would have went with copper maybe. But this is all just my opinion. You did an amazing job, I'm very impressed. This is an award winning job you've done here.
I like the use of the rubber masking fluid, I never thought to try it that way for chipping effects. I'm currently building a Dauntless dive bomber, 1/18 scale from I Love Kit.
Kermit weeks just received his a-26 from restoration, neat youtube video where he is going through the cockpit controls. The big lever is to pump up the hydraulic system. A very complicated cockpit, nice work showing all the details. Thanks for sharing.
I'd like to see a LOT more video and photos of the finished model at the end. That's not nearly long enough and you're covering the screen with another video. You did such an incredible job I'd like some time to really study the finished product.
Very impressive, and I think some of the extra detailing work on the interior and esspecially on the engines would work well on my larger Star Wars models. Like for example a Y Wing where you have so much of the engines exposed, and the weathering on your model is exceptional.
Fabulous interior work. Bob Steinbrunn called it "creative gizmology". "Approximating' is going to have to work, you have done it admirably. On the other hand, one might expect more from today's modern kits in the interior detail department. ICM in particular has very sparse interiors, especially on their 1/32 kits.
Thanks, i like how "creative gizmology" sounds :) I have no Idea why some manufacturers leave so much room for improvement, I guess it is made for the aftermarket to stay in business :)
Some people might get confused with " B-26". There was the first B-26 of WWII. Before the war ended, another " 26" was born. It was a bomber...But to avoid confusion, the new 26 was designated as the A-26 for " attack" . After the war the first 26 was removed from service and the A-26 was redesignated B-26. I saw one, while temporary duty at Hickam AFB, 1966. It was headed for south east asia.
What a stunning and beautiful plane, though it is not as fateful as a real one so only 9 rivets out of 3 Napalm tanks for the score. Jokes aside awesome work, probably one of the best B-26's.
Outstanding but, if I may, you will not find twisted cable on aircraft, I’m an ex RAF electrical technician and have made and installed wiring harnesses. I have no doubt if you look hard enough you will find the odd example but in general, wiring isn’t twisted
Beautiful job on the model. But it is not a B-26, it's a Douglas A-26 Invader, a different aircraft. The B-26 Marauder was made by Martin Aircraft. Again, a wonderful job.
Technically, both are correct. The Marauder was phased out pretty quick after WW2, and when the USAAF became the USAF, a lot of designations changed. The A-26 Invader became the B-26 Invader.
Spectacular job! I love how much care you take. I'm confused by the designation. I have only seen "B-26B-50" in reference to the Marauder, while this seems to be an A-26 Invader (which I understand was redesignated "B-26" after the retirement of the Marauder). Can you clarify this?
I loved watching this, thank you for all the work that went into the model and creating the video. Might I ask what masking film you used when you were creating the insignia? Thank you again.
@@MMScaleModels Ah, thank you. I thought it was a type of frisket film. Again, I appreciate being able to see your process, and the finished model looks wonderful.
Stunning, beautiful work. However we get virtually no time to enjoy the finished model which is obscured by text and videos at the end. In the future please take time to share plenty of footage of your model. Thank you.
After the B-26 Marauder was retired from the inventory (The USAAF/USAF literally couldn't be rid of the Marauder fast enough) in 1948 the Douglas A-26 was redesignated the B-26 Invader though its retirement in 1965.
Really ..... THERES ALWAYS ONE ! Great work mukka, ignore these complete TOOLS that are jealous and must lead an boring life !! #theresalwaysone #jealous #onlychildsilverspoonsyndrome #zzzzzz #cockwomblesareus #rivetcounter #keyboardwarrior
