Revell Martin B-26 Marauder (1:72 Scale)
 
The B-26 Marauder was one of those lucky aircraft whose designers got it right at the first try. Though early versions were considered 'widow makers' because of the high landing speed of the B-26, the Marauder went on to have one of the lowest loss rates of any of the USAAFs medium bombers during WWII. Ordered into production right off the drawing board, the B-26 was considered a 'hot' machine to fly. It was fast, well armed and able to deliver a sizeable bomb load. The aircraft was the backbone of the 9th Air Force's assault on Germany. Despite seeing combat for the first time in the Pacific theater, the Marauder was quickly removed and replaced by the B-25 for Pacific duty.
