ICM B-26C-45 Marauder- 1:48 Scale WWII American Bomber Model Kit

ICM B-26C-45 Marauder 1:48 Scale WWII American Bomber Model Kit

The ICM B-26C-45 Marauder is a 1:48 scale plastic model kit representing one of the most widely produced variants of the American B-26 medium bomber used during the Second World War. The first B-26 flew in November 1940 and entered service in early 1941, featuring a high-wing design, a spacious fuselage, and an operational crew of five, later increased to seven.

As the aircraft saw active service, continuous refinements were made to improve handling and combat effectiveness. In 1943, the wing area and tail were enlarged, changes that became standard for all later production aircraft. Due to demand exceeding production capacity at Martin’s Baltimore plant, manufacturing expanded to Omaha, Nebraska. Aircraft produced there were designated B-26C, with the C-45 becoming the most produced version, totalling 359 aircraft.

This kit accurately reproduces the proportions and layout of the B-26C-45, including interior cockpit and fuselage equipment. Decals are included for three marking options representing aircraft from the 17th and 320th US Bombardment Groups operating in the European theatre. Supplied unpainted and requiring assembly, this kit is suitable for modellers interested in WWII American aircraft.
