Oh YESSSS! An A-26 in Raspberry Ripple!  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ;D ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

DE, DL, DT refer to the build factories; Douglas El Segundo, Douglas Long Beach and Douglas Tulsa, respectively.
The block numbers are used to track and organize production design changes.


Thanks Jon. I thought they were but wasn't sure

So, do ya want guns or not pilgrim?  ;D

This one will not have wing guns thankyou  :thumbsup: I may well do a solid nosed version (the Revell kit is in the stash) with wing guns for use over Europe
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
