1/48 B-26B Marauder, WWII American Bomber
ICM 1/48 B-26B Marauder is a plastic kit of the American WWII medium bomber. It contains 363 parts and three marking options from 1944. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The Glenn L. Martin B-26 twin-engined medium bomber was designed in 1939 to meet the US Army Air Corps requirement for a new high-speed medium bomber; the project was known as Model 179, and series production began without the usual prototype stage. The first B-26 flew on 25 November 1940 and was accepted into service in February 1941. The high-wing aircraft with its spacious fuselage had a crew of five, up to seven in later versions; from 1943 the wing area and fin were enlarged. The last variant, the B-26B-55-MA, was produced until February 1944.
According to the manufacturer, the ICM kit in 1/48 scale has 363 parts; the model is 387 mm long with a 454 mm wingspan. The decals provide three B-26B-55-MA aircraft from 1944: “Ladies Delight” of the 584th Bomb Squadron, 394th Bomb Group, “Coral Princess III” of the 494th Bomb Squadron, 344th Bomb Group, and “The Big Hairy Bird” of the 599th Bomb Squadron, 397th Bomb Group.
Aircraft with individual names are a favourite subject for collections of American bombers. In 1/48 scale the large model stands out in a display cabinet or as the centrepiece of an airfield scene. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
