Douglas A-26 Invader

[Dusan]

Hello ,



I decided to build something for this great campaign so my choice is this 1/72 scale kit
from Italeri, A-26B Invader B) (really beautyful plane). Looks like a really nice kit OOB with great detail. It's going to be a quick build I hope, with some small detail upgrade.


So "Stinky" it is :laugh:

decals printed by Cartograf no aftermarket here for "Face it".

Detail is great, there is some flash but no big issue.

Update soon I hope so :snoopy

All the best!!!
Dusan.

Thank You very much guys for comments! :drinks



I started with interior colors but ... :vmad

I dry fit the pieces together to make certain that everything will fit later... clear parts and fuselage ...

Ah new tool Italeri...

I'll fix this but this is a very very bad by Italeri (I dont like that soft plastic at all, that is the problem mass production and poor mold).

Thanks for looking!
and All the best! :drinks

I am sure you can fix it. If it were mine, I would use epoxy putty, remove the canopy while wet, then let dry, file sand interior side and paint. Replace canopy and touch up any gaps caused by filing and sanding.

Thanks Saul! B) I have some Tamiya epoxy and that's a great idea! I'll try that out.

All the best! :drinks

I am Sory Saul, Sory Bob , I was very busy and unfortunately I lost few parts, I'm waiting for Italeri to send them to me. I also managed to destroy the pressure regulator on my compressor, great week indeed.


All the best!
