This kit is the Monogram/Revell 1/48 scale B-26 Marauder. The kit was originally issued by Monogram in the mid 1980’s. This
model is fairly accurate in shape and it is well detailed for its time. There are some fit issues, however these can be easily
addressed. This kit is the subject of our next Comprehensive Series Scale Model Aircraft Manual and it includes the addition of
Eduard photoetch detail parts, Quickboost engines and Masters two part brass barrels.

attachment area between this part and the aft area of each engine nacelle.
