Monogram B-26, Lone Star early conversion

Beautiful John! I'm going to guess and say the props aren't powered, are you just blowing wind over them for the pictures??

looks great!!!

Magnificent work! Thanks also for the history too; I never knew B-36's were used to attack the Japanese.

Duke, the B-26's went to the Pacific first, but soon thereafter they started going only to Europe, as I understand it.

Thanks for the nice comments.

Thanks, Warren. Yeah, air from the air compressor, blowing from the side to get both props to spin at the same time. I use .060 wire for the prop shafts running in copper tubing, usually.
 
And thanks to all the rest of youse, too, for enthusiastically celebrating the completion of this one!
 
Really great job, Nice seeing a Marauder with a torpedo. Wish we could get a new tooled 1/48 B-26.
 
The small Museum at the Canton-Akron Airport has the 96th B-26 built! They are currently making a top for it to change their display.
