Now only seen, exciting project, do you have more info on the background of the aircraft, the design is already the eye-catcher 😎

Thanks, TWN! This aircraft is from alternative history, where Prof. Fritz Paraman helps Glenn L. Martin Company to design a fast ground attack aircraft for the USAAF. Paraman's cost-effective and fast solution was to turn B-26 Marauder around to make it have canard-type wing configuration and mounted with 3-inch antitank gun. One prototype was built and it turned out to have awfully poor performance. This didn't bothered Prof. Paraman because he already had his consulting fee.
But actual background is that when I saw a Marauder-model my brother made, the tail gunner site looked like a cockpit to me so I have wanted to try turn Marauder around.

Thank you all! I have been pretty busy lately with little time with models, so it's nice to get this progress. @Dubya 62-B could have been better name XD

Thank you for mentioning me, S M, you're too kind. I "borrowed" this method from some Polish modeller's article printed in some Polish modellers' magazine, frankly speaking...

Thanks, mates! The model is now finished. It was fun to build in the end and I got to test several tools and techniques.
