Martin B-26 Marauder

CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF SOMEONE HAS A WOODEN KIT FOR THE MARTIN B-26 MARAUDER

[supercruiser]

I personally don't know of anyone that has the Martin B-26 in kit form.
Are you set on just the Martin B-26? Or would any medium twin bomber do? Guillow has the North American B-25.

[TOYGUN]

I NEED THE B-26 OR ONE I CAN REWORK WITH OUT TO MUCH HASSLE.
MY WIFE'S UNCLE WAS A B-26 PILOT WHO WAS KILLED IN WHAT WAS TO BE HIS FINAL MISSION AND SHE WANTS ONE MADE OF HIS SAN ANTONIO ROSE. THANKS

The only B-26 kit that I can think of off the top of my head is made by Dumas. Ordinarily I avoid discussing other manufacturer's product on this forum, but since Guillow's does not have the B-26 I don't think it'll be a problem. Don't buy direct from Dumas, it's cheaper at places like hobbylinc.

TOYGUN, check your messages. Sent a PM to you.

The Dumas B-26 kit is the one that comes to mind. Most of the ones that I have seen built look much better than the photo on the box. No one should feel guilty about recommending Dumas kits on this site when Guillow doesn"t make the kit. Dumas subcontracts much of their injection molding and vacuforming to Guillow. (AH, HA! Thought those thrust buttons looked familiar, didn't you?)

[SteveM]

Yes, those thrust buttons did look familiar, as did the red plastic prop. Though I'm afraid the vacuum formed parts they make themselves have a terrible fit, but I digress.

I've sent a PM and it is still in my Outbox. Not sure how to get it actually SENT. Would you settle for a 1/72 scale plastic model, nearly complete?
