Martin XPB2M-1 Mars 1943- Scratchbuild Build Log

[neons]

So this is a military site that links history, artifacts, and mostly veterans. I want os say this is my first post in this forum. First thing I want to do is thank all of you veterans of all wars. Thank you all for your service and the freedoms we enjoy with your sacrifices.

I found this warbird forum and have been reading different articles throughout. I found one in the WB Hanger about the Martin JRM Mars from the Coulton water bombers. Of course I do not want to put a model plane in the real thing forum. I hope they get to have a look at this marvelous seaplane rendition. I have a few more to post here. My planes are mainly wood frames to start and finished with foam parts and sheeting. Final finish is epoxy and 0.75oz. glass. All are electric power. This one is 120" wingspan
There are pictures I found on the internet and videos of trials and the maiden flight in here.

Thank you Tom,
I wish I could build more big multis but my space is nearly run out in my garage.
