Up next on the bench after it got a cleaning is Monograms B-26 . I remember building this kit in my younger years , much younger years . I had this kit in the stash for a while now . It was a trade I did with a local modeller and what I didn't know there was a few goodies in the box . True Details wheel set and Quick boost engine set . So the question is do I add more detail with a few scratch items here and there ....not much will really been seen once everything is all closed up .

Once I get start on painting parts will have pic's up for you guys .

Detail everything with in an inch of its life! You know it doesn't make sense, but it's fun.......

I don't think there would be enough years left in me to detail it with an inch of it's life Nigel .

I think many of us are facing the same challenge......

I'm definitely with Nigel on this one - use those aftermarket parts and do that model proud. Sounds like a great project and I look forward to seeing your progress. I checked on-line and those old Monogram Marauders are quite valuable, and scrub up quite nicely.
Cheers,

This will be an interesting subject. The type is not one that I am especially familiar with, yet it was an important aircraft in its time.

Personally I would leave out the details if they cannot be seen on the finished model - it allows more time to build some others in the stash/to do list.
