Any idea where the hose attaches? https://scontent-lax3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/88370901_1443336325827767_3708624429538869248_n.jpg?_nc_cat=107&ccb=1-5&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=LznRuagwdQwAX9hDduE&_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-2.xx&oh=ac367a262143dfd43c622f8084465b5e&oe=61492E52

Different aircraft, different locations.

Great photo. So it is a heater/defroster. I always thought it was some sort of cooling hose connected to the plexiglass cone to vent the cockpit. Thanks for the help. Building a 1/14th scale Marauder. G model. G models didn't use the fixed gun from what I know.

Thanks for posting

Adam, for what it’s worth, here is a page from the B-26B and C model Flight Manual showing the basic layout of the heating and ventilating.

This is basically the same information from a Navy JM-1 Flight Manual

Here are a couple of pages from the B-26F and G Model Flight Manual showing the area just inside the nose. The second picture shows the initial routing of the heater hose
