B26 Marauder Model Airplane Kit 1/72 Scale - Bomber Martin B-26 American WWII Aircraft - Russian Military Model Kits with Assembly Instructions in Russian Language

Missing parts from SEALED plastic bag. Ill fitting parts, especially the wings. Despite my practicing all of the model building hacks I knew, it made up a crappy model.

Parts had a great deal of flashing! Poor fitment of parts. Just not good quality!

I bought this model because I love B-26's, although I suspected it may be an old kit re released. It definitely is an old kit, it is from a mold made in the 1960's. The parts are ill fitting, all of them, and no parts went together without a good deal of sanding and modification. One of my windshield parts was cracked, so no real repairing that. A lot of putty was used to fill huge gaps. I am having fun building it, but I am used to building old models that require a lot of help and work. I would not recommend this model to any beginner, it would definitely be a let down, haha. Buy a Tamiya kit to start, they go together great! Its possible to have fun with this, but only of you enjoy punishment! (And possibly broken parts!)

This is the vintage FROG kit from 1963 re-released by the Russian Ark company. It was a fine kit when first released nearly 60 years ago, but technology has long passed it by. Given the age of the molds there will probably be a lot of flash and poor fit of the parts. Interior detail is lacking. You would be better off looking for the Hasegawa kit of the B-26. It is far more accurate and has a lot more interior detail. If you can't find it here, check E-bay or online hobby shops.

it was the only one I could find! Had to get it from Belarus, because apparently nobody makes this kit anywhere else, or at least doesn't sell it except here. It is not a common one in the west I guess, but Red Army/Air Force used it a lot on Eastern front (it was a medium bomber, 2 engines).Anyway, it was what I wanted and got after an extensive search.
