This booklet with a landscape format was published in Canada by Aries publications. Agreed, not really a lot out there that I'm aware of. If this is the book of which you speak, it's really not bad at all. dutik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis7423 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 You can find them in the states. Picked mine up from Colpar Hobbies in Aurora, CO several weeks ago. Last week I was there, and they still had 5 or 6 in stock. - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA Learstang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutik Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Looks like this one went the way of the Dodo. Whats is (or are) the second best choice(s)? Regards - dutik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 As a second choice, I would recommend the combination of the Warbird tech and the Squadron walkaround. Have a look as well at the available TM. Nearly all interesting TM can be found online for free. dutik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantom Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Thanks Dave, one last question so is this kit worse than the 1/32 B-24’s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 It is alas more complicated to correct than the B-24 and we have to see what we will get from aftermarket producers. Personally I got one as I absolutely want a B-26K and the only other option is a basic vacformed kit. Moreover I'm not holding my breath for another A-26 release from another producer.

Iain Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 My thoughts (and aims) exactly Thierry... I have the ID Vac - I started it in the last Century - even this will be a better starting point IMHO.

Dennis7423 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 It appears there is lots of aftermarket coming available for this kit.. some of it will correct kit errors (Eduard cockpit set for example, properly converts it into a single-seat cockpit), but we're always going to have those shape issues with the fuselage and canopy. Hoping new cowlings come about, and proper engines (since Resin2Detail missed out and produced the wrong 2800's for the A-26). At the end of the day, one just might be able to make it presentable. I, for one, and planning to do some slight conversions to it to make it into a proper A-26B (reconfigure the nose gun placements, mold and insert another turret on the belly, and re-structure the framing on the canopy to the early type), and I hope to make something that at the very least looks like an A-26. With all this being said, I am still, deeply disappointed that one of my favorite aircraft, finally molded in my favorite scale, was done so poorly. But we push on, because we're likely never to see another one in our lifetime. - Dennis S.

thierry laurent Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 With regard to engines, why not getting the Vector ones? Lietsalmi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
