michelle Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I backdated this 1/67 scale Atlantis cold War Douglas B-26 invader to a WW2 Douglas A-26 invader I had to remove the molded in usaf lettering from the wings and the molded in plane name lil nell and plane number and the molded in us air force from the tail I painted all the parts Tamiya ts-28 olive drab and then painted the yellow wingtip and propeller and engine cowling accents with paint brush and yellow acrylic craft paint I used a ultra fine tip yellow paint marker to write usaaf on the wings and us army air force on the tail as well as the new number I painted the usaaf logo on the wings with paint brushes and white and dark blue acrylic craft paints I also painted the figures to match ww2 usaaf bomber jackets crush caps and flight suits I have a ww2 era recording of into the wild blue yonder playing in the background of the video 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reegs Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 One of my all-time favorite planes (and the A-20, too). Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Nice clean build of this classic kit. I'm loving the oldies that Atlantis is bringing back; sometimes you just want a simpler build, and with attention to build quality and proper paint, they can make for very nice display pieces as you have proven. Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
