Great news that HM are doing a twin engine bomber. Would have preferred a B-26, but maybe that one will come later. Going after Corgi, with this release.
Not the best looking scheme, and there is some controversy about the lack of guns in the nose. Not sure if it will have them, or not.
But these are pre production shots.

I'm excited and happy that Hobby Master is expanding their twin engine prop line, adding the A-26 to the BF110 and Beaufighter
Hopefully this is just the start of more to come, maybe even tackling 4-engine heavies in the future
I'm not quite entralled by the 1st release scheme and agree nose guns would make it more awesome. Would hopefully see schemes similar to "Sugerland Express" with D-day stripes and an all black with red trim like "Spirit of Waco",
I'd get these in a heartbeat

I've been dying for an A-26 in 1:72 for some time now as its one of my favorite aircraft, so I'm down for "Stinky"

While some of the model's features do stink (pun intended), like any HM aircraft, we are likely to see multiple repaints and variants with this tooling, so I plan on getting at least one more.
