I can remember building this kit for my father who was a mecanicien/dorsal gunner in the Netherlands Indies stationed in Balikpapan, Borneo. He participated on bomb sorties against the Japanese. He told me that some times the machine gun froze solid at higher altidudes. I can also remember it was a disaster to build.

You are right Lex - very tough kit. Rough plastic, bad fit, lots of flash. You had an option to build a Dutch version and I know they have aftermarket decals as well. Amazing you know someone who flew in them.

That looks amazing, but to have built it in a week is even more impressive. 👍

31st Bombardment Squadron
Hamilton Field (Near San Francisco), California, 1935

The Martin B-10 was the first all-metal monoplane bomber to be regularly used by the United States Army Air Corps, entering service in June 1934. It was also the first mass-produced bomber whose performance was superior to that of the Army's pursuit aircraft of the time. At the time of its creation, the B-10B was so advanced that General Henry H. Arnold described it as the airpower wonder of its day. It was half again as fast as any biplane bomber, and faster than any contemporary fighter. The B-10 began a revolution in bomber design and it made all existing bombers completely obsolete. Rapid advances in bomber design in the late 1930s meant that the B-10 was eclipsed by the time the United States entered World War II. Aircraft in combat in China and South East Asia suffered the same disadvantages as other early war medium bombers, i.e. not enough armor and guns, while it couldn't outrun the latest fighters.

I am not sure where
