That looks very good in that scheme  :thumbsup:  I have the Anigrand resin kit of this aircraft, and one day I may even get around to building it  :angel:

That is one well-done model, and the paint finish is superb!  :wub:  :thumbsup:

And the B-26, and the A-26 derivative, continued for quite a few more years! Love the name, my father did his initial training at RAF Carlisle.

Thank you for all the kind comments, folks.

A friend lamented I had not provided a full side-on image of the beast in all its magnificent weirdness, so here it is.

I have always wanted one of these in my collection but the price and complex construction have kept me away, so far.

Great finish and it looks lovely in those colors.
