Yep,

Good aircraft - but I would prefer they do the B-20 Boston/Havoc.

But, just look at that misshapen nose, cowlings/nacelles, and those divot-rivets! Who in their right mind would ever shell out hard currency for such a monstrosity?

[Steve Eagle 94]

Oh Boy, I just pulled out the books I have that have pictures and information on this aircraft.

There are a great variety of fitments on this plane, and choices of nose art.  I will be looking forward to this release. I wonder if they will release it with both types of canopies.

[Kevin H. 39]

Yes, airspray a26, bring it on.

You joke now, but I'll put money on just those types of comments showing up 30 seconds after the first sprue shot drops.

I think sometimes its the nature of our beast. A lot of modelers are to some degree very particular because we know and love certain subjects, and when we see the likes of and heights of accuracy of, such things as Tamiyas F4Us, or Mossie, or most WnW kits, we know what can be achieved. Consciously or subconsciously we see things we sometimes cant un-see, and it can get in the way of building on occasion.

TRUE......SOOOOO TRUE !!!

Might it be wise to wait until Trumpy says they are actually planning on releasing an invader before getting excited (or moaning)AFAIK they havent  made any official announcements and for all we know, that prototype might be nothing to do with ‘us’......

[Out2gtcha 31,284]

Well, they for sure have a 1/32nd Invader. Good point, as with a lot of things, for whatever reason, it may not get released into a mainstream kit.   

 

But there are at least two IM 1/32nd B-26s out there!
