1/48 B-26B Marauder with USAAF Pilots and Ground Personnel
ICM 1/48 B-26B Marauder with USAAF Pilots and Ground Personnel is a plastic kit of the US bomber with figures. The set has 398 parts in total. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The first B-26 prototype flew on 25 November 1940 and the type was adopted by the US Army Air Forces in February 1941. The design was continually improved in service; the final version, the B-26B Marauder (B-26B-55-MA), was produced until February 1944. These aircraft took part in operations over Europe, first from Britain and from the second half of 1944 from the Continent.
B-26B bombers played an active role in preparing and carrying out Operation Overlord. On D-Day, 6 June 1944, bombers of the US Ninth Air Force were airborne, attacking coastal batteries, bridges and railway junctions; the massive raids continued for several days after the landings, with up to four hundred Marauders taking part at once.
The ICM set in 1/48 scale combines the B-26B kit with figures of USAAF pilots and ground personnel, 398 parts in total. The model measures 387 × 454 mm. The figures practically invite a diorama of an airfield dispersal. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
