Martin B-26 Susie Q flown in Midway defense.
 



Well, it's been a long haul but this one is finally in the display case.  Short wings, small tail, and early style tail gun set up.  Eventually I will have to build a stock Monogram kit, but not today! 
Overall OD is 34086 from Model Master, as close to OD 41 as I can see, with fading using Faded Olive Drab and 34087, also MM.  Matte finish is Alclad II.  Oils used for weathering
and a silver pencil, Tamiya Smoke for the exhaust.  The torpedo installation and decals are from Lone Star.  It is a B-26 used in the battle of Midway, and flew down the
deck of Nagumo's flagship carrier, strafing it.  Below is a link to a narrative of the attack by the B-26's.  2 of 4 returned to Midway, but Susie Q was scrapped due to the damage incurred.
