Jessie The Jeep Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 This B-26 Marauder took three years to build, mainly because it is my third, and least active hobby. I never build a kit straight from the box, always doing plenty of scratch building, looking to get the most out of the purchase price ( in this case free! ) and I like to tell a story. The aircraft has been damaged in some unseen way, possibly a heavy landing distorting the airframe, and making it unfit for flight, so it has become a parts source. A ground crew are salvaging useable parts to keep their own plane airworthy, though a number of other ground crews have already paid the wrecked airframe a visit. I'll start with some completed pictures, then show a few of the construction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scurvey Knave Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Steve, For anyone interested in Marauders, there is a great website hosted by Art Kramer who was a B26 Bombardier. He tells the story that at the end of the war, his crew could have bought their Marauder "Willie the Wolf" for $150 but the could not afford the cost of the gas and oil to fly her home! The website is at www.artkramer.blackapplehost.com Regards - David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
