B-26B Marauder "Flak Bait" - World War II US Medium Bomber

This edition covers the B-26B variant and includes marking choices that show the same aircraft at different stages of its service life in Europe between 1943 and 1945. That makes the kit especially useful for modelers interested in comparing changes in appearance across separate periods of operational use.

For modelers: A project like this benefits from planning the painting stages around the twin engine nacelles, glazed nose areas, and landing gear assemblies before final attachment. The included marking options also make it easier to choose a specific service period before decal work begins.
