1/48 Monogram A-26 B/C to JD-1


Recommended Posts

Hi !

following this thread in the Props section I started to build a Mono A-26B into a TT JD-1 from VU-5.

Pictures from Harry Sievers match fairly well Alexey Matvienko's drawings

This is not exactly the case with kit parts

I first removed the tail, sawed 3 mm from the top width, and 1.5 mm from fuselage height.

Then built a new glass nose from the solid nose and glass parts.

Basically I first glued the glass part, and sliced the solid part until both matched together

The result seems (to me, of course) closer to how an Invader should look like

Now turning toward the interior: the E&M manual is ok for cockpit detailing, but what about the rear gunner position in a target tug ?

I read somewhere about a winch but couldn't find any picture/drawing showing it.

Would anybody know about this winch ?
