After comparing the kit with drawings and photographs I discovered few discrepancies:) -the engine trust line is too low, that creates excessive curve on the top of the engine cowling and shortens the height of the radiator opening - overall shape of the engine cowling is too curvy, almost like the E model - the spinner in too large in diameter and too long , probably to compensate, disproportionate nose section, that is too short - rear of the fuselage is too short - canopy is too rounded ( remember hellcat), that reflects on the curved shape of the rear fuselage as well - rear greenhouse section is too small - propeller ,,, I don’t know how to say it - cockpit floor , I’m not touching that LOL picture time

I see, well here are few interesting articles, that could possibly help. https://modelingmadness.com/review/allies/cleaver/us/usaaf/bomber/tc26.htm https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235069469-invader-ahoy-icm-b-26b-15-148/ https://www.keymodelworld.com/article/icm-douglas-invader-148-build-sound

After my dog ate nacelles on Beaufighter and canopy on my Dauntless I had to take a break, contemplating changing to a new hobby , for instance taxidermy. But then there was a parcel from People's Republic of China. Boom ! This is the aircraft I would like to build..

If I ever finish. LOL

Trumpeter’s abomination of Warhawk arrived few weeks back. Trust line too low, spinner too long and wide to compensate the short fuselage and engine cowling, notwithstanding bulging glass and fuselage. slap to the face

Amazing result Gaz, truly outstanding . Bravo!

Element has lots of potential

Very cool !!!

Stunningly clean work my friend, real joy to follow. Cheers Martin

Amazing piece of furniture, well done ! Cheers Martin

Totally agreed, Can’t go wrong with Hasegawa 109. Shake and bake kits, no stress build.

That’s very fine work Mark. Engine looks real. And in the meantime I’ve been playing with photo- recon. 109 idea

Martin has never finished a jet. Look again what is written on the box. “ the coolest jet ever”

not done yet ? Looking good John. Cheers Martin

few more motivational pics.

For a second I though that I am looking at Tamiya. Very fine work Peter . Cheers Martin

Always wanted to build a jet. Lol

Beavers are overrated :), but then ....

Husky, really ? What bout a sled, canoe and maple syrup ? And a beaver, just to complete the stereotype
