I built these two models for the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame in Galveston, TX. This is also the home of Lone Star Flight Museum. The B-26 was built for Mr. George Lane's exhibit. And I built the CAF P-51 for Lloyd Nolen's exhibit.

Neat! Presumably that's the Monogram B-26, which P-51D kit did you build?

Cheers

Yes the B-26 is the Monogram kit... If I remember right the Mustang kit was Tamiya. I did these models a few years ago.
But just got a new scanner. I also did an F-18 for a friend of mine...that is also a Monogram kit.

My apologies since I've seen too much B-26 Invader lately and there's where I got confused with the image and name.
Honest!

Cheers

Tidy work mate.

I've got the Monogram B-26 waiting for attention. Dunno when I'll get to it though.

Hope I can do something as nice as yours.

Cheers

Andy

Thanks Andy! I really appreciate it! I have two A-20 kits at the house that I really would love to do..I just need to make the time to take them out and complete them.
Have you decided on a paint scheme for your B-26?
