Has anyone got this kit yet?
Is it accurate?
I want to convert it to a Navy version.
My Dad flew as a plane captain in one these in the Navy during WWII.
A JM-1 target tug in Utility Squadron Nine.
She was overall yellow with the code U6.
Thanks,
Gary

Have you seen this? B26 on modelforum.cz
It is hard to tell how accurate it is but it shows everything there is in the box including all pages of the instruction sheet. And Hasegawa usually does their homework so I guess your'e better off with this one than with any of the alternatives!

Thanks Magnus,
At a glance, it looks to be nice kit with loads of details which would help to justify a $35 US
price tag. I've always been a fan of Hasegawa kits so I'll have to try this one.
Built my Dad's plane in 1/144th using the Revell kit and have wanted to do it in 1/72nd but didn't want to tackle the old Airfix, Revell or Matchbox kits.
Thnks again and Happy New Year,
Gary
