Martin Co. in Middle River, Maryland, and became the final variant in the Marauder line. The aircraft featured a modified wing angle—raised by 3.5 degrees. This change was intended to improve handling during takeoff and landing, as these operations had been challenging for Marauder crews. Along with the wing modifications, the internal fuel tank capacity was increased, and a special venting mast was installed on the fuselage spine. Additionally, some internal equipment was standardized in the B-26G to meet the common requirements of both the Army and Navy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe life raft in the B-26G was larger compared to those in previous variants, and a new modified hatch was introduced to accommodate it. A total of 893 B-26G Marauder bombers were produced, and they were used by several U.S. Army Air Force groups operating in Europe. Some of these aircraft were also in service with the French Air Force, known as the \"Free French.\" The French Marauders initially fought in Italy and southern France, but as the Allies advanced in Europe, they were deployed in other regions as well. The final mission flown by French Marauder crews took place on April 25, 1945.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e​\u003cstrong\u003eModel Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe model corresponds to the later modifications of the B-26G Marauder bomber with an increased wing angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe fuselage has differences specific to the B-26G Marauder modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe geometry and proportions of the real aircraft are followed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe cockpit and fuselage equipment is reproduced in detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecals with markings for the US and French Air Forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarkings Available\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB-26G-5 43-34351 \"Willie the Wolf\", 494th Bombardment Squadron, 344th Bombardment Group, 1944\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB-26G-5-MA 43-34462 \"Margie\", \"Donna Deloris\", 444th Bombardment Squadron, Sardinia, Autumn 1944\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB-26G-10-MA 43-34580, Bombing Group 1\/32 \"Burgundy\" (GBM 1\/32 \"Bourgogne\"), France, 1945\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: \u003cstrong\u003e1:48\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Parts: \u003cstrong\u003e380 pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWingspan: \u003cstrong\u003e453 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength:\u003cstrong\u003e 387 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes detailed assembly instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly detailed sprues with high accuracy made from quality plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBox size: \u003cstrong\u003e410 x 260 x 55 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Assembly Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aircraft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNation:\u003c\/strong\u003e American\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1939-1945 - World War II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct code:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICM48323\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied unassembled and unpainted.
