Airfix is to re-release its 1/72 scale B-26B Marauder with two new marking options
●‘Flak Bait’ 449th BS 322nd BG 8th AF
●'Big Hairy Bird' 42-96165 6B-T of the 599th BS, 397th BG

Fred Boucher and Chuck Shanley both reviewed earlier releases of the [kit no 04015]. The kit may be getting on a bit, but it looks as if it will still build into a decent scale replica.

Release date will be March 2018.


A04015A - B-26B Marauder – 1/72

I look forward to the old warhorse coming back. I think she still holds up well and the price is much better than the latest one from Asia released back in 2007.

Very nice markings options though the South African one in the earlier release is hard to beat.

Yes its great to see this released again. I built a couple in the eighties, and remember being impressed with the bomb bay detail
