Good to see you back after a long time, Sprue Hunter. I've recently bought this kit, waiting for delivery, so your review is quite timely for me. Keep up the good work. Best wishes.

Thanks Kipper! Yes it's been too long, unfortunately work is keeping me from spending as much time at the bench as I'd like. However this kit is too tempting and looks to go together relatively quickly so I shall endeavour to try and cobble something together for the channel so stay tuned! 😁👍

[@Mortlaker]

Really good out of the box review. Ill be following your channel for sure.

[@spruehunter]

Thanks very much!

"I'm not gonna lie..." Och, lad, ye'll nae get a cushy job wi' the government or the mass media wi' that kind of attitude! Aye, it looks like a brilliant kit, and I canna wait tae get my hands on one. :)

[@spruehunter]

Aye, well I'd just fall oot with all those bawbags anyway! 😜 Thanks for commenting and glad you liked the video min 👍

[@timandersen8916]

Thanks for the video , im looking forward to build it also 🙂
you said you love building icm kits, what icm kits did you build?

[@spruehunter]

Hi Tim, thanks. Looks like a good kit and I'm itching to build it, I've also built in the past ICMs 1/48 Spitfire and bf109, tricky kits but good once together. More recently I've done their 1/32 Gladiator and B-26 Invader both of which just fell together, very enjoyable to build. Like I say in the review ICM give you enough without it being a high part count so the build usually goes together quickly and means you can get into painting and weathering while the mojo's still high.
Glad you enjoyed the review and thanks for commenting 👍

The B-26 was flush-riveted, and they are barely detectable on the real aircraft under paint. No need to add rivets.

[@spruehunter]

Good to know Tom, saves me a job when I come to build it 👍

[@HarrySach]

2 nose cones and 2 windshields?

[@spruehunter]

I'm certainly no B-26 expert but I assume it's different noses and canopy's for different versions? So we'll possibly see another boxing of the Marauder from ICM in the future? "Flack Bait" maybe 🤔
