Great to see FoV do another B-26. :D

The first two did have some QC issues, and unless you could actually see the model in your own hands, bit of a crap shoot as to what you would get.

Hope FoV can get this sorted out, and if they produce a decent model, think this Marauder will sell well.

I know I would buy more than a couple, if the quality is there. :wink:

That one looks good. Likely not to have the weathering, etc that was on the first one. I've got the first one and while its not a Corgi or Hobby Master aircraft, its pretty decent. I also like Unimax's choice in making the B-26 as its a pretty unique subject. Their B-25 isn't bad either.

This is good news. 8) Thanks for sharing.

FOV is the only one who makes a Marauder in 1:72 diecast.

Being partial to OD schemes, I've tried to get their first B-26 "Shootin In" but it's sold out everywhere. When it rarely does come up for auction it usually goes way too high, so this is a good choice of livery. A nice clean look with no invasion stripes. Definitely will get this.

Managed to score the OD eagle nose B-25 and still plan on getting the silver "Big Hairy Bird" B-26 too.

Wonder if they improved any? I had their first B-26 and B-25 and they were a mess, bent/broken gun barrels broken landing gear, etc.
