Thanks, Bob. Adam just told me about the new Dynam B-26. Mines rebuilt and ready for takeoff. Pics to come.

When is the re-maiden? Maybe I can sneak down there...

I own 6 Dynam planes:

1) Supermarine Spitfire (MkIX-scale-ish)
2) Consolidated PBY Catalina (excellent, but repaint has added weight at a cost of performance)
3) Messerschmitt ME-109 (G model, but very soft foam)
4) Douglas C-47 Skytrain (slightly firmer foam, but really a fun flyer)
5) Albatros DvB (Nice foam Biplane! repainted)
6) Hawker Tempest (very firm foam, great finish and obviously a newer design).

IMO, Dynam planes are a good value and are excellent flyers.

If the Dynam Martin B-26 Marauder is anything like the finish of their most recent Tempest wing (in photo above),...... I'm buying!

I have three of them the cat, Corsair and hellcat. All of witch fly awesome. I have no doubt this plane will be just as great in the air

Dynam, makes and builds a awesome product for the money that they cost.

Awesome vid! Boy, the weathering on that is amazing.

How do you build a B-26? I'm glad you asked.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnb0Ib5F9GU From the Martin plant in Marietta, GA.

Here's a great video of the B-26's of the 323rd Bomber Group operating from France in Spring 1945. In color too! Amazing.

I wish I had the time and patience to make something that incredible. 10 years. That is some perseverance. And 108 lbs he said, that is simply astonishing. My hat is off to the builder, and to the guys brave enough to fly such an incredible model. Thanks for sharing Fieldofdreams!!!

Prowler, thanx for sharing those links but you gotta know that video back then wasn't in color, the credits at the beginning indicate the use of digital image restoration(colorization) done 2012 ;)

Picky, picky, picky.... :P LOL Thanks. Looks like they got it pretty close though.

This is an A26. Commemorative Air Force now located at Redbird( Dallas Executive)

The A26 Invader built by Douglas came after the B-26 Marauder built by Martin. Far more B-26's built than A26's. Both are cool

[Prowler901]

Yeah, the A-26 is pretty badass too. Lots of guns. :Cool:
