Scimitar F1 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 With 3 Monogram B-26s to make I have slightly mixed feelings on this one! That said bring it on - ICM is bringing out the kits that I want to buy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickydicky210 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Excellent news, long overdue new kit, hope it’s up to the standards of other ICM kits in 1/48 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbolt Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I haven't really got room for one, but it is tempting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightersweep Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Said it elsewhere, but this will be 2023 kit of the year for me. Fantastic news. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phas3e Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Been on my wishlist for new tooling for a number of years so I guess I should put my money where my mouth is... only question now is, will it come with "MIld and Bitter" decals? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible box art, very interesting releases next year, HK B-25 now this... Great news ICM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Hmmm, I don't usually buy 1/48th scale kits, but since I already have the B-26K Counter-Invader, I might as well have the other B-26 in my collection. Regards, Jason 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Excellent news! I have been hoping that ICM would tackle the Marauder and can see this being a very popular kit for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAGeezer Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 My hope is that they eventually do the whole Marauder range. Short & Long wing, different tails/tail gunner positions, and later angle of incedence increase(-G model?). Aantici---pation! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they'll do the F/G but yes It would be great if they did the early B as well, my wallet won't like it though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Really looking forwards to this, quite a fan of the B-26, a great platform to do some heavy weathering. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold55 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 This is a very welcome kit! The price on eBay for the old Monogram Marauder was getting rather high and I have been waiting for a good alternative to build - this is going to be a must have for me! ICM seems to have carved out a niche of twin engine prop aircraft and they have just gotten better and better, this should be their best so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIM REAPER Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Very good news! As they have done a good job with the Invader kits, I have more faith in ICM pulling this off than any other manufacturer and I can only hope they do the short wing variants as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray_W Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Busy with non-modelling stuff and missed this. Thank you ICM. I expect ICM will release all the versions so some very nice heavily weathered NMF aircraft will be in the pipeline. I have not got much left on my wish list. This was one. I only need Airfix to release a 1/48 Hampden and Arma to finally release their 1/48 Hurricane IIc (I doubt I'll get enthused by Hobby Boss if they finally also release one in their promised series) and then I'll have nothing to talk about. Even the weird desire to build a 1/48 Gannet has been answered. Ray 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Robinson Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Just when I have bought the A/B 26c Invader, the original B-26 Maurader is coming later this year..... take my money ICM (gladly given though) followed by AM upgrades.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general melchett Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Yes, very much looking forward to this one, I've always had a soft spot for the Marauder, quite a beast. Plenty of choices for markings too...a weathers delight. Great choice ICM. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) I don’t know my B-26 variants, can “Flak Bait” be built from this version of B-26B? Edited March 11 by Scooby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
