ACADEMY 12656 1/144 Martin B-26B Marauder

Model Aircraft Kit

A finely scaled representation of one of the most misunderstood yet ultimately respected medium bombers of the Second World War, this kit captures the purposeful lines of the Martin B-26B Marauder. Early in its service life, the Marauder earned a reputation as a demanding aircraft due to its high wing loading and landing speedsfactors that led to improved pilot training and incremental design refinements. By the time the B-26B variant entered widespread service, it had evolved into one of the most reliable and effective bombers in the European Theater, ultimately achieving the lowest combat loss rate of any U.S. Army Air Forces bomber.
