Hello Milton,
I got started in Flight Simulators with the help of a Marauder pilot.
I could not figure out why my computer could not run Combat Flight Simulator and he showed me his setup.
There is much more to the story in the thread describing my attempt at building a B-26.

I also settled on a late B model as the subject even though my friend mostly flew a G model.
He does have a pretty well known photograph showing him in what I believe to be an early B model though.
The idea was to build pretty much a generic B-26 with the visual (with some license) of a late B model but with the straight line performance closer to that of the early B model. Performance of the later models was much less impressive.
Whose drawings are you using? I could never find ones that had all the details I was looking for.
Specifically, I was and am still looking for a Station diagram and the Erection and Maintenance Manual for any of the long wing versions.
Be careful about the Canopy Framing on the Pilots side. It varies a bit between models.
Another area to watch is the Fin and Rudder. I don't know if the documentation shows it, but I believe there were at least two different possibilities.
Another feature worth mentioning is that this bird had a symmetrical airfoil as one might find in an aerobatic aircraft.
This design feature in my opinion was a major mistake.
