Eduard 481165 B-26G Marauder bomb bay ICM 1/48

The Eduard 481165 B-26G Marauder bomb bay upgrade set is a precisely made addition designed for the ICM 1/48 scale plastic model of the B-26G Marauder bomber. This set allows for significant enhancement of the bomb bay, including the tiniest details that are hard to achieve in standard kits. The bomb bay of the G version was the heart of this aircraft’s mission during numerous air operations of World War II.

B-26 Marauder is a famous American medium-range bomber, widely used by the United States Army Air Forces from 1941 to 1945 during World War II. The G version, the last variant produced, entered service from 1944 and operated both on the European front—such as Normandy, France, Belgium, Germany—and in the Pacific front against Japan. These aircraft played a key role in strategic bombings and in providing support to ground forces.

The Eduard 481165 set includes numerous components made from high-quality photo-etched metal. This allows for a realistic recreation of the bomb bay structure, including bomb rail systems, wiring, mechanisms, and small mounting elements that are not included in the basic ICM kit. The set does not contain resin, metal barrels, nor plastic parts—all components are made with the precision characteristic of photo-etch technology, guaranteeing perfect fit and a highly realistic final appearance.
