About product

The Marauder B-26B in 1:48 and the illusion of deflected surfaces

A sheet of self-adhesive stencils for a forty-eighth scale model of the American B-26B Marauder medium bomber. Spraying along the defined outlines creates shading on the ailerons and control surfaces that, looking at the finished machine, comes across as if the surfaces were deflected.

A fast bomber with a demanding flying character

The Marauder staked everything on speed from the start. Short wings with a small lifting area and a pair of massive Pratt and Whitney radial engines gave it excellent performance, but also high landing speeds that fresh pilots wrestled with. Hence its unflattering nicknames from the training bases. Once the crews grew used to the type, the opposite showed: over western Europe the Marauder reached some of the lowest losses per combat sortie of all American bombers. The later production blocks of the B version received a greater span and a taller vertical tail, which tamed the handling noticeably.

Advice on application

Given the size of the airframe, choose an order of work and stick to it. Lay the effect on before the decals, so that the shading does not cover them. Once everything has dried, go over the engraved lines with a wash, which joins the shading to the rest of the surface.

The set will suit

  • Builders of American medium bombers from the European theater
  • Modelers who enjoy effects created in paint alone
  • Collectors of equipment from the period of the Normandy landings

FAQ

After the camouflage is sprayed and still before the decals and the final clear coat.

It depends on the strength of the tone. On larger airframes rather finer shading is advisable.

No, the sheet of stencils alone is supplied. You choose the bomber to your own taste.
