Burkard 1/54 Martin B-26 Marauder plastic model kit

1/54 Burkard Martin B-26 Marauder

Wood Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good+

Very rare, high quality kit from about 1942/43 that represents the early B-26. Of the early solid aircraft kits, Burkard holds the distinction of being the largest, best made and most complete kits. However, the high price restricted sales, making them very desirable today. Big scale model features a fully carved-to-shape balsa fuselage that even has the turret hole predrilled, excellent profile-cut hardwood wings, engine nacelles, horizontal and vertical stabilizers, fully formed main and nose wheels, other wood stock as required, metal foil for details, two sheets of color insignia-one with USAF markings and the other with kill markings/silhouettes, a tube of glue (solid and stuck to one stabilizer) and very large and complete plans that include aircraft history and specifications, three views, numerous cross sections for templates and airfoils, antenna details and even text instructions. Never started and complete. Consolidated Model Engineering Co, of 3079 Third Avenue, NY, NY, manufactured the famous Burkard Giant Solids, Bay Ridge Super Gas Jobs and Jackson's Strato Spear. They also distributed Bantam engine factory replacement parts.
