        I'd honestly rather have an A-26 than a B-26. The A-26 has more of a hotrod feel to it. I'd also really like an A-20 Havoc. But you know what? I'm grateful for any 'uncommon' twin-engine medium bomber. I'm stoked for the B-26 too.

        I just hope someone does an A-26 soon. Phoenix (or is it SeaGull?) has one coming out soon but it's big and doesn't look very good. I'd love one of the VQs but they're tough to find anymore.

          Here is a noteworthy website in preparation for the coming model. What is interesting was how many guys got shot down. Marauder flying was no picnic.
          B26.COM is dedicated to Martin B-26 Marauder Men who fought in World War 2. Photos of crews and planes, personal accounts, and related information.

              Hey Alpha. I asked this before but you did not comment.

              Is there any chance Dynam will be upgrading their current offerings with the new retracts, LEDs, and props? The F4U and P-47 could sure also use a scale 4 blade prop. But larger. Say 13 inch. And the current 3 blade could use a makeover for a more scale look. Dynam would sell a ton of these on the aftermarket.

                        At least it's free shipping. ;) So, it's out, is it?

                            I get that now with my sciatica - freezing cold numb leg after I stand up. :Cold: Will have to wait to see what the real price is to know if it'll chill the other leg.

                                Alpha posted the information below over on RCG a few days ago but not here, I thought there was some good information and pictures so I'm copying and pasting it here.



                                To the person asking about the main gear struts, the entire strut from the retract to the axle is one single piece of steel rod, which is then sheathed in the two piece plastic cosmetic struts seen in the photos. At no part is plastic alone bearing the strain. Although, given the model's four flaps, big wheels, and light wingloading, landing is a non-event anyway.

                                For those of us thinking about a bomb bay mod, attached is a photo I took of the fuselage half. The angled area to the left of the photo is the battery area. The center section is hollow. There's room for two of the Adam Bombs that I really like, and with minimal mods the area can be opened up a little further without compromising strength. To facilitate a hinge installation, the panel line where the real door's folding hinge is located is machined flat relative to the horizon, so a fold-out hinge would be easy to cut from the outside and install from the inside. In a simpler configuration, although not scale, a single hinge door could be installed very simply. There's space in the thick forward bulkhead for an actuating servo.

                                The wing is made of three parts: A center section housing the two engine nacelles, and the left and right outboard wings. The center section bolts onto the fuselage with four screws, and is covered with a magnetic cover. The model will arrive with the center section already bolted on, meaning all the user needs to do to complete assembly of the aircraft is screw on the outer wing panels, horizontal stab, and vertical stab. The retracts, ESCs, and their associated wiring is contained within the single fuselage, making transport and assembly very easy. The idea is that the only part users will need to glue is the plastic nose. That is being left off due to box size limitations, but also because I hope people will paint and detail that area before gluing the nose on. It's such a prominent part of the aircraft being, well, the front of it.

                                Straightforward, cost effective, no bad surprises, good personalization potential. That's our goal with Dynam.

                                We'll have official info, final production photos (everything posted so far was hand painted), price, ETA, etc, at the end of the month. I'll post more information then, but for now I need to get back to work making toys for you boys. Until then, visit www.B26.com. Great stuff over there, run by great people who have an unmatched passion for this aircraft.

                                Dkalwishky, as with most Dynam birds, the decals are all left unapplied, in anticipation of customization. I'm working with Callie for decal sets, also. By the time the aircraft arrive she'll have a range of options beyond the factory's offerings.

                                Attached is a photo of the main wheel. We opened a new mold for the wheels to get very close to match the scale main's peculiar design. The nose wheel is the same one (lower cost and better grass handling than a narrower scale wheel). A Robart spoked wheel might do the trick nicely for the nose to increase scale fidelity.

                                I may have mentioned this before, but the dorsal turret rotates. Easy enough to turn by hand for display, but tight enough that it doesn't move around during flight. It will require work to actuate the turret with a servo, though. Another task for the intrepid modeler.

                                  Funny. Bob Violet actually does this. When you buy one of his $10K BVM's he sends a representative to your house to set it up and maiden. One of his reps is the guy who founded Oakley sunglasses. Sold it to Luxottica for a boat load of millions. Loves turbines.

                                          For me, I can't really tell the difference. However, when I put a little minion and snoopy in the cockpit, nobody will care anyway. They'll just think I desecrated it. Yeah, I'm weird. :Silly:
