B-26 B/G Marauder

Bart Goesaert
curious about the progress on this one. Not the most common camouflage for this aircraft, but it's something else then olive drab...

Gerald
Nice Project 👍

Not sure what the wingspan of a MK IA was. That may be something worth checking.

Phil Marchese
Here is what one on-line source says about the Mk I & IA. This may not be definitive and where you particular number fell would be a check point.

B-26A—Incorporated changes made on the production line to the B-26, including upgrading the two .30 caliber machine guns in the nose and tail to .50 caliber. A total of 52 B-26As were delivered to the Royal Air Force, which were used as the Marauder Mk I.[2] Approximate cost then: $102,659.33/aircraft (139-built)
B-26B—Model with further improvements on the B-26A, including revised tail gunner's glazing. Nineteen were delivered to the Royal Air Forces as the Marauder Mk.IA. Production blocks of the 1,883 aircraft built:[37]AT-23A or TB-26B—208 B-26Bs converted into target tugs and gunnery trainers designated JM-1 by the Navy.B-26B—Single tail gun replaced with twin gun; belly-mounted "tunnel gun" added. (81-built)[37]B-26B-1—Improved B-26B. (225-built)[37]B-26B-2—Pratt & Whitney R-2800-41 radials. (96-built)[37]B-26B-3—Larger carburetor intakes; upgrade to R-2800-43 radials. (28-built)[37]B-26B-4—Improved B-26B-3. (211-built)[37]B-26B-10 through B-26B-55—Beginning with block 10, the wingspan was increased from 65 feet (20 m) to 71 feet (22 m), to improve handling problems during landing ...

Dave Hill
Thanks Phil, from what I have read it appears that the wingspan increased by 6 feet from A to B and then another 6 feet from B to C. I will continue to research this.

Well done! Go ahead!

Dave, the B &C Series distingushed Baltimore from Omaha products so the B-10 and earlier C blocks are roughly equvalent. (like the B-25C/D as CA & KSCITY)

Brad Boyle
Interesting project Dave...and a nice collection of AM parts to add. I'll be following this one 🙂 ... Cheers

Logan Eden
Good Morning, Dave Interior looks impressive with the AM belts. Have fun with the slice and dice, will be watching to see how it comes together. Catch Ya, Logan

Christian Meyerhoff
Excellent work so far! I love the cockpit!

Chris Parsons
Great work Dave!
All I can do with photoetch is ruin it and the model it's in, lose my temper and curb stomp the model like a angry gangsta...just ask my 1/48 Greatwall P-61

Villiers de Vos
Fantastic work.

Ken Kolenovsky
Great work Dave! You're braver than me with that "slice n' dice" stuff. Love the weathering effects.

Rui S
Excellent work & Dio👍

Logan Eden
Good Morning, Dave The B-26 came together excellently, love the diorama. What a long journey for you, and it must have been rewarding to finally be completed. I love the contradictions of the desert & the torpedo but they had to come together in some theatres of the War. Catch Ya, Logan
