ICM 1/48 B-26 Marauder US crew (5 Figures) Plastic Model Kit

A B-26 Marauder bomber crew typically consisted of a pilot, co-pilot, bombardier or navigator, and machine gunners manning the dorsal turret and rear position.

In the European Theatre of Operations, B-26 Marauders struck strategic targets deep inside German territory—missions that became routine over time.4 These combat missions were brutally demanding.

Resistance over enemy territory was fierce and deadly.

Long-range flights at high altitude, precise navigation, enemy fighter attacks, and relentless anti-aircraft fire demanded excellent training, tight coordination, and iron discipline.

Combat losses were severe. A pilot from the 320th Bombardment Group later recalled one mission: "The anti-aircraft fire was extremely intense.

Ahead of me, I saw a B-26 in formation take a direct hit.

It broke in half as if it were a toy.

Meanwhile, we seemed to be dragged through hell by a hurricane of flak bursts.

Almost every B-26 in our formation was hit by fragments from anti-aircraft explosions." Despite the losses and hardships, the pilots of the B-26 Marauder carried out their duty with honour and made a worthy contribution to victory Key Features - Four crew figures from the B-26 Marauder—two pilots, a bombardier-navigator, and a gunner - Figures designed to be positioned inside the aircraft according to their combat stations - Detailed recreation of flight crew equipment and uniforms - Compatible with any ICM B-26 Marauder aircraft model featuring U.S.
