    A friend of mine has contracted me to detail several Franklin Mint Aircraft. Starting with the B-26 Marauder. He supplied me with the aircraft, several sets of decals, parts from other Monogram kits, and resin parts. Spent a few hours today disassembling the die cast beast.

    I finished up the engines today and painted the gear wells. Installed the windows into the fuselage and painted the tips of the props yellow.






    Merry Christmas

    I started weathering the wheel wells today and applied the decals to the props. Dull coat will follow tomorrow.







    Happy New Year

    When you get done with this, just think about how much you've added to the value of the model. There are dozens of Franklin Mint B26s out there but this one will be one of a kind. Great work.

    Finally got the fuselage assembled today. Time to start the finishing and painting.





    Props are ready for weathering.



    Cheers
