1/32 A-26B

[Paulw]

I have been chomping at the bit to start the Christmas gift that Paul gave me this Christmas past. I had noticed that the kit has a kind of modified dove tail joint for all of the bulkhead things, and there are quite a bit of interior to get installed even though you will barely see most of it. I used the Eduard zoom set for the pit and that is where I came into an issue that made me scratch my head. The kit is a B model and the Eduard set has you cut away half of the i.p. then I am thinking that this may be for a C model but I am not sure so I cut away part of the i.p. and put the rest of the stuff in the pit. This took me quite a while to get all the innards in and a couple of hours to get things lined up just to get the fuse to close up. There is filling on the fuse seam and that is as far as I got.

I had only one set of belts that was 32 scale and that was some I took out of a Spitfire kit that I have. I just wanted to get something done this time so Ill see how it does in a couple of weeks.

Looking good, Paul. So far as I know only the On Mark and Viet Nam era B-26K/A-26A had the full width instrument panel. I am working on the Italeri 1/72 B-26K kit now.
