The poor finish on the napalm tanks is because they started out life as drop tanks. Outstanding job as always.

[@MMScaleModels]

And generally being neglected :) Thanks mate :)

[@basfinnis]

Finally this popped up on my CZcams after a refresh!
Great job 👌

[@MMScaleModels]

Better late than never I guess :)

[@Harryjmacneil]

[@MMScaleModels]

[@neilhaas6024]

Fantastic Metodi wonderful plane nice work

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate!

[@jorgemonroy7386]

Hey Metodi! I regret not seeing this earlier, with all the madness going on this was a fresh relief to see in You Tube. And useful as well, I will try to adapt some of your weathering techniques with my current F4D-1 Skyray build. Thanks for sharing and stay safe!

[@MMScaleModels]

Nothing to regret mate, videos are here to watch when ever you can 👍

[@skimmer8774]

Now that's what I call detail 👍👍

[@MMScaleModels]

3D printing opens a new rabbit hole to dig into 😆

[@lesthiele4921]

The B-26 Invader is really coming together nicely, you are foing a fantastic job, looking fotward to the next installment, keep safe and well my friend, best regards from Australia.

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks Les, there will be a small delay as the engines prooved to be a handful... literally 😄

[@colossalbigfoot256]

That’s it. It’s official. This is my #1 modeling channel! Your attention to detail and fully explaining is perfect.

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate, appreciated!

[@BigFred1925]

Beautiful

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate!

[@davidhermosilla6942]

great content! thanks for sharing!

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate 👍

[@neilhaas6024]

I like this plane two engines

[@MMScaleModels]

Yep... except that almost everything you have to do twice :)

[@stephenbridges2791]

Outstanding job! Today has been a good day. Uncle Night Shift uploaded his video and you yours. I worked on a Panzer IV I've been doing. So, yes. Any day spent modeling is good.

[@MMScaleModels]

Indeed, we have to detain certain leaders into modelling camps so they can chill a bit :)

[@robbo1068]

These short episodes are terrific, Metodi....super informative and a pleasure to watch. Thank you!

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate!

[@briansilcox5720]

Nicely explained, effective techniques. Thank you!

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate!

[@auhlik]

Very nice work. Congrats :) Just one note - the airplane you are building did not have the lower gun turet. The reserve fuel tank were installed in place of lower turet.

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate, I have read about that but honestly haven't been able to find a picture to prove such theory. Also no way to see how the area is reworked to fill the opening so I will live with that :)

[@francispare1310]

Terrific build as always. Looking at you using white spirit on Tamiya's LP paint... so they resist to white spirit without any kind of varnish on them ?

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate, probably you should not rub the hell out of it but they can handle some white spirit for sure.
