I finally got that flash of inspiration I needed to finish the Mixmaster, and it is now in the bet build queue.

I also got good work done on the A/B-26:


B-26

A-26

Same plane, different noses. I'm also gonna do the firebomber version from the movie "Always" (It's a real plane in a museum somewhere now, so copyright shouldn't be an issue...hopefully).

Nice Aaron....a suggestion for the second one which has a nose full of lead. There is an A-26 Invader here on Lackland AFB which was a night fighter and also served with a foreign country. Link to a couple shots of her: Warbird Information Exchange • View topic - Lackland AFB Bombers

I know I have shots of the same plane somewhere on my computer that I have taken in the past when my father was in town to get me on base.

Looks like you have plenty on your plate and in the queue, Aaron, but if you ever get the yen to proceed with the Curtiss C-46, I'd love to see one in Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) markings, since I periodically jumped out of one such over Han River Drop Zone No. 1 in 1971 and 1972.

Photographer Jerry Gunner has posted couple of photos of ROKAF 78053, which was on display at the ROKAF Museum at Seongmu some years ago. Googling <C-46 78053 "korean air force museum, seongmu"> will take you there.

I think that's the version I was looking at anyway. The one I picked is all black with the red cowlings and writing. Fortunately the link inclused a good shot of the nose art. I'll see what I can do.

Well, he has been "won" to do stranger things! HAHAHAHAHAHA, I keel me!

My plate is never full, but the beta queue is getting there. I have 5 or 6 models waiting, and I keep adding more.

Very funny, Flyboy!

With regard to the A-26, you are on to a good choice.

The markings on that aircraft are for A-26B-51-DL, serial 44-3287 (Buzz Number BC-287), which served with the 13th Bomb Squadron, 3rd Bomb Group, during the Korean War. The 3rd is a historic outfit (I once sat in the back seat of an RAAF O-1 that put in an airstrike by 3rd BG B-57s in Long Tuan Province, Vietnam, in 1967) and it would be neat if you produced one of their Korean War-era aircraft.

Of course, the water bomber would be nice, too.
