Brian Watkins Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Hello! Wanted to share some photos of a project that I worked on intermittently during the Feb. - Apr. time frame. It's awesome for all of those great 1944 ETO dioramas! Next up: planning release of 1/32 B-24D and J Liberators late 2015/early 2016, followed up with the B-26 mid-late 2016, as an injection molded kits. Kits are still in RD at this point. Anyways, hope you like! Wireframe Cockpit view through canopy Tail gear mechanism Rear tail assembly 3/4 Cutaway view Tubular frame Horizontal stabilizer Thanks for looking!

caudleryan Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 YES!!!! I don't care what the price is. I'll get at least two of those B-26's! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2qwik4u Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Oooh, I'm really digging the 1/35 CG-4A! Is this going to be a resin kit, or are one of the major manufacturers going to release it? I've actually had plans to build one in 1/10 scale for radio control. I've got most of the major parts for it cut, but the project stalled a couple years back. I've been trying to gather reference material for it as I would like to do a highly detailed cockpit for it. I even managed a couple trips up to the National Soaring Museum in Elmira to get pictures of the fuselage section they have there. I'm definitely in line for a 1/35 kit. Any thoughts on markings? I'd really like to do "The Fighting Falcon" presentation glider myself. -Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Watkins Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Thanks so much for your kind words guys! B-26 project is going to be an epic build for me ... I would like to see this Waco put into production on 1/48 as an injection molded kit at some point - we'll see. Printing is gonna cost a small fortune in 1/35 and casting will be very time consuming unfortunately! As far as markings go - there is a cool one with a dragon on the nose that caught my eye (sorry, I cannot recall the unit). The separate steel tubular frame would allow the modeler to "rip" open the sides as it impacted the ground or a tree, etc. for added realism. That was the intent anyway :-) Best, Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

caudleryan Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I really hope the B-26 project goes through. That's been on my wish list for years! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
