Martin B-26 Marauder Project

[Ivan]

The Marauder is pretty much made up of Round Cross Sections with Bulges added at various places. A few AF99 Structures gives a pretty good general idea of what the shape will be. I used a AF99 Utility I wrote to Mirror the Cowl to have an identical one for the other side. Before I had this Utility, Mirroring a Component was tedious and very error prone.

Keep in mind that this is just an examination of the shapes, Almost NOTHING in this screenshot will exist in the final product.

Screenshot of the Manufacturing Jig for the Fin and Rudder. No the outlines from the specifications don't really line up this well. I just edited things by eyeball until things looked about right.

Here is a photograph I found of my neighbour's plane.

This is from a very old magazine as can be seen from the Posting Title.
