ICM 1/48 Marauder Mk.III (48326)

This review will tell you more about ICM 1/48 Marauder Mk.III (48326). As one can guess, we get here yet another version of the famous bomber. It is molded in popular scale, and I reviewed some of the previous releases before. Overall packaging is typical, so all frames come in several bags. Inside you will find 380 parts for a model with 454mm wingspan. Yes, final result will be quite big, so it is better to have a space for this one. Let's open the wraps and take a closer look at all parts.

Watch this video-review where I show all parts even closer.

First sprue comes with wing mechanization and some interior bits. Yes, it is worth working on internal as well because they will be visible through clear areas.

Kit is full of small and thin parts. Be careful with those as there are no spares included.

ICM includes both engines in this model, so it might be a good idea to expose one of them. Yes, those are "proper" engines, not just some placeholders with molded in features.

Both fuselages halves come on the separate frame. They are quite long, so it might be good to join them with a stronger glue.

The same can be said about wings. I would also recommend to use metal rod to have them properly aligned, but this is already up to you.

I am saying this because original plastic still features quite buff tabs to hold wing in place, but I am not sure if it will be enough.

Tailwing should be glued out of several parts. There are guiding elements which will help you with proper assembly.

Last grey frame also features some of the interior parts such as floor panels. Definitely think through the paintwork, as some parts will be hard to reach after certain steps.

Clear frame are packed into separate plastic bags. Molding quality looks great, and there are masking templates supplied.

Decals sheet it surprisingly compact, and yet has all necessary symbols for three markings. You can see options on the photo below.

Assembly manual is typical for this brand. I show all pages in the video-review.

New Marauder should be already available for purchase. In my opinion it is a great choice for modelers who love to work on big models. Here you get a lot of features out of the box, and there is plenty of aftermarket available. Yes, this is definitely not for beginners due to the size, but with some experience you will be able to get a quite nice aircraft project.
