Airfix Martin B-26C Marauder 1/72 Scale

The Martin B-26 Marauder was one of the most controversial American combat aircraft of the Second World War. It was primarily used in Europe, and was in fact numerically the most important USAAF medium bomber used in that theatre of action. However, on four occasions, investigation boards had met to decide if the development and production of the Marauder should continue. The Marauder survived all attempts to remove it from service, and by 1944, the B-26s of the US 9th Air Force had the lowest loss rate on operational missions of any American aircraft in the European theatre, reaching a point less than one half of one percent.

  • Hmmm... all the model reviews were on the B-26 Invader, not the B-26 Marauder. Though they shared the same type number and both kits are Airfix there is something of a difference?
