Monogram's 1/48 scale
Martin B-26 Marauder

by Tolga Ulgur

Hasegawa's 1/32 Bf 109 G-6 is available online from Squadron.com

This is Monogram's 1/48 B-26 Marauder finished with the markings of 42-107541 “Ann” 444th BS, 320th BG (France).

This old Monogram kit has raised panel lines. I have decided to leave as it is.

Construction lasted quite long due to some problems encountered in the construction like fitting problems on the cowlings, clear parts and rear turret area.

It needs patience and perseverance. I do not think that I will do another one from this.

Cockpit modified by Eduard instrument panel.

And also some scratch additions to the pilot seat.

Other modifications are:

• Loon models engine cowlings

• Quickboost resin engines

• True details  wheels

• Resicast lens for landing lights.

Painting was done with Gunze Sangyo acrylics. Upper surfaces painted to Olive drab and lower surfaces to neutral grey. Green patches applied on the nose, tail and engine cowlings. Note that fuselage side upper machine guns deleted due to the reference picture.
