About product

Big Ed PART I for the Martin B-26B Marauder 1:48

With large twin-engine bombers so many photo-etched parts add up that Eduard divides them into two bundles designated PART I and PART II. This package is the first of them. The package groups several separate photo-etched sets intended for a B-26B Marauder model in 1:48 scale. What exactly each of the bundles contains is given by Eduard on the packaging; the two complement each other and a builder usually reaches for both.

The real subject

The Martin B-26 Marauder was an American twin-engine medium bomber with Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engines. Because of its small wing area it had high landing speeds and earned a bad reputation among crews, which it later refuted with statistics: in the European theater it showed one of the lowest loss rates of all bomber types. The B version received a lengthened wing and strengthened armament.

Tips for working with photo-etched parts

Before you start, go through the instructions and plan the order of the work, because part of the photo-etch is installed inside before the fuselage is closed. Harder parts that have to hold a curved shape are easier to form after annealing over a flame, but the metal then softens, so handle it carefully. Prepare the small parts on a light surface and work over a tray so that a piece that springs away does not disappear into the carpet.

Who the bundle is for

  • builders of bombers for whom the contents of the box are not enough
  • anyone interested in the American air forces in the European theater
  • modelers used to long builds with interior equipment
  • those who plan to get the second bundle for the same model as well

The goods are an accessory, not a model. The kit of the bomber has to be obtained separately.

FAQ

It is not necessary, but the two bundles complement each other and together they cover the model more broadly. It depends on how closely you want to build.

Smaller bends you can manage between two blades or with a ruler, but with longer parts a bender pays off. A straight bend without one tends to come out wavy.

A small wing area meant high speeds on takeoff and landing, which caught crews out in training. Its combat statistics later gave it good marks, though.
