Cheers Wayne.... May go with the decals just now. BEcause next weekend at the 3 day long airshow I am going to they have a flea market and in past years I remember models in the flea market so I want some money because as of late I am personally drained....

Look forward to the pics when you can H. Note that the radio room and bomb bay were silver, with the rear fuselage interior in Interior Green.

 

[B-17engineer]

Gooood I didn't paint those! Thanks for the heads up! They have the wrong pilot control yolk....hmmm

EDIT: Just remembered Tomorrow I am going ona 5 hour drive to D.C. and to see the forward fuselage of "Flak Bait."

The control yokes in the kit are correct H. There were two types, early/late. That pic previously posted showing two different types rings a bell, where one yoke is incorrect I believe. Note that the walk around posted by Dwight shows the early model B26, which had quite a few detail differences compared to the type in the kit, the latter being more representative oif serving aircraft. 'Flak Bait' will give you some good details, and there are pics of the interior on the net.

[Thunderclap34]

Good Choice i would love to build one of those!

 

[B-17engineer]

Narrowed down to 2 schemes...since I don't a have money for replacement nickname decals, why not pick one with no name! Letters will be me only issue........

 

[B-17engineer]

Since the B-26 I'm doing is a G-1 do I have to make any changes from the original kit?

 

[Airframes]

Far as i remember, the kit is for a G, so no major changes. the earlier model had a smaller fin and rudder, and differenr wing.
