The ICM 48321 Martin B-26B Marauder “Flak Bait” in 1/48 scale has just arrived! This beautifully detailed kit pays tribute to one of the most famous American bombers of World War II — the legendary “Flak Bait,” the most combat-flown U.S. bomber of the war.
Historical context: The Martin B-26 Marauder was a twin-engine medium bomber used extensively by the U.S. Army Air Forces in Europe and the Mediterranean. Known for its speed and toughness, the B-26 gained a reputation as a demanding but highly effective aircraft. “Flak Bait,” a B-26B of the 322nd Bomb Group, flew more than 200 combat missions between 1943 and 1945 — surviving intense anti-aircraft fire and becoming a symbol of endurance and crew skill. Today, “Flak Bait” is being preserved by the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum as a lasting testament to the bravery of its crews and the durability of the Marauder design.
