CTA Entry-Mikkel's B-26 Invader

[Mikkel]

Hello guys!

sorry for being a little late but gymnasium really takes all my tim :angry:

but.. lets get busy :woohoo:

I'll do a Monogram B-26C Invader:

with a photo of my moring horror clock :evil:

I'm build it as something from Latin America... no markings just an awesome camo... where is it from?

Cheers,
Mikkel

I would have said Honduras but that is just my narrow mind:

Honduras?? Come on Saul, you should suggest something with more interesting story (and used in combat) :gogo

It's Biafra B-26 flown by Polish WWII ace - Jan Zumabach (pilot of famous 303 RAF (Polish) squadron)

Cool
And some cool shark mouths

Hubert, I know the Briafran Bull well but this is Mikkel's build and he stated he was having a Latin American finish.

And some cool shark mouths

James, there are many more including some which are more appropriate for the kit Mikkel posted. My favorites are the Biafran Bull and the Indonesian shark (which also saw combat versus insurgents):

This is a warbird and I haven't seen the original it was painted after-

Indonesian-

A few more of the Biafran Bull-

Same as Hubert's but colorized-

Of course, I have more but they are of horse faces, cat faces, and the famous Stinky.

Mikkel

 

[Mikkel]

Thanks Saul for the great info!!

 

[Sherman 18]

Oh now that is a cool camo!



By the way I just might copy you. Been wanting to do an A26. :hmmm

 

[Paulw]

Mikkel, this has me wanting to break mine out soon. I have the oz mods and a buddy that can cast resin for the A-26K Nimrod. I love that camo scheme, Keep up the good work.

 

[jknaus]

Cool. Really like the weathering of the cockpit. Very very nice

Paulw,

Much more to come

Mikkel

 

[dollar19]

Coming along very nicely!

 

[Mikkel]

ahhhh the stress!!!!

I need to finish this one

okay here's some progress, I messed the landing gear stuff, so had to build it flying... not to shabby.. I hate landing gears!!! :evil:
Soo found a pilot, painted him the best i could

And slaped the rest together, and painted it black (the Invader flew in all black before nice camo :coolio )

these photo's are some days old and the camo is actually finished!!!! but it still wet I'll take some photo's in the eving and post em here

All most there!! which me luck!!
