1/72 Martin Marauder II Jan 26 - Sep 26

[J Luke]

How's your marauder coming, Lou?

[lastvautour]

I is languishing on my bench. No progress.

Louis

[J Luke]

Is it all glued together or still in separate pieces?

[lastvautour]

Still in separate pieces.

Louis

[J Luke]

Have you decided on a paint scheme and/or markings for your Marauder, Lou?

[lastvautour]

Mine will be RAF desert scheme of sand and mildstone

Louis

[J Luke]

Very striking! That's not a scheme I'm used to seeing on a Marauder. I like it! Someday I'll build a plane in desert camouflage.

[lastvautour]

Small progress. Tail feathers carved and sanded.

Louis

[J Luke]

Fantastic! I'm glad to see your Marauder back on the bench! Is that a second wing I see there, too?

[lastvautour]

I ran the wing plug through my bandsaw to cut it down. The remainder will eventually be part of another project.

Louis

[J Luke]

I see. I do the same thing. Is your notch in the fuselage going to be the full width of the wing? If so, how do you determine when to do that vs. a smaller notch?

I remember you doing a full notch on your B-25 build as well. I'm just curious if there are any particular qualities about the shape of the plane involved that guide that decision.

[lastvautour]

Only very small wings are cut out full chord. I usually notch my wings.

Louis

[lastvautour]

Small steps,

Louis

[Dave Tunison]

Nice

[J Luke]

Small steps are how it goes! Looking good!
