wow! and Wow again! When they did the B26 Invader it was something I thought I'd never see in my life time. Then HKM comes out with an A20 coplete with the stressed skin. I'm looking for them to also do that one in 1/48th scale. This B26 is just the icing on the cake! Revell did the PV-1, and I always wanted them to do the Hudson.

 

So what's left to do before moving on to RAF twins?

The majority of B-26Bs were built with the long wing.  B-10s through B-55s had the long wing.

Just because of its crooked gull winged leading edges, the Monogram will instantly look bizarre: They were straight as a ruler on all Marks. I don't even know what Monogram was thinking.

 

 Interestingly, the Monogram clear parts are outstanding in shape, so if ICM fumble theirs, there will be a way out.

I'm kinda perplexed as to whether the B26b has the long or short wing

 

The kit has the long wing.  There were no short wing B-26s in service in 1944 in Europe.

So this is out now … is this version the starting point for a Navy JM-1 ?

 

For most JM-1s, yes.  But you need to scratch the JM-1 style tail cone that didn't have any guns, just an observer position for the target sleeve.

My Dad was the engineer gunner aboard "Ladies Delight" when he was with the 394BG 584BS.  Eli did decals for me in 1/72 many years ago, now I will have to follow up my 1/72 with this beautiful kit.
