Early in service it gained a difficult reputation because of its high landing speed, though training improvements later made it one of the most successful bombers in American service. The B-26B became one of the key production variants used in European operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Flak Bait\" became one of the most famous Marauders after surviving more than 200 combat missions with the 322nd Bombardment Group over Europe. Its name reflected the heavy anti-aircraft fire it repeatedly endured while returning safely from missions. Today it remains one of the best known surviving USAAF bombers, making this 1\/48 scale plastic model kit especially meaningful for historical aircraft collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild using paint and glue.
