1/72 12902 Air Lines Martin Marauder II - RAF B-26C - (ex Frog)
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
From the mid 1960s and from the quality Frog molds. Features fine panel lines for a realistic model, separately molded rudder, elevator and ailerons, pilot, co-pilot and gunner figures, detailed engines, rotating propellers and more. Inventoried with all parts, decals and instructions present. This box has some of my favorite Jo Kotula boxart. Air Lines History: In an attempt to expand the USA market for FROG kits, management partnered with Testors in the USA from 1964 to 1966. The kits, decals and instructions were made in England, then imported where Testors created the boxes with colorful trading cards on the back. Testors comissioned the famous Jo Kotula to do much of the box art; he was already established as one of the premier American commericial aviation artist who started in the 30s with many of the covers for Model Airplane News (MAN). The trading cars tastefully display the quality Kotula boxart without the logo and kit name. Some kits contain a Testors color painting guide also, but it is not specific to any model. It is worth noting that FROG kits were also sold by AMT (as AMT-Frog) and even by Hasegawa (as Hasegawa-Frog).
