Description
ICM Airfield of the American bomber group (HC-ICM48327) is a 1:48 scale plastic model kit depicting a World War II American bomber airfield. The set centres on a B-26G Marauder, the final major variant of the Martin B-26 Marauder bomber, alongside USAAC servicemen and sections of Marston Mat airfield surfacing.
The B-26 Marauder was used by American bomber groups on extensive operations across Europe. These formations operated from both permanent bases and temporary field airstrips, where perforated steel Marston Mat planking provided a stable surface over soft or uneven ground while allowing water to drain. This subject provides the components for a US bomber aviation group airfield diorama set in the 1944–1945 European campaign.
Set Features
The aircraft model represents the B-26G modification with its characteristic geometry and proportions. The four USAAC figures depict period uniforms and equipment, while the separate plates reproduce the appearance of temporary wartime airfield surfaces. Together, these parts create a scene showing the aircraft, ground crew and operating environment of an American bomber group.
What's Included
- B-26G Marauder aircraft model
- Four USAAC servicemen figures
- Marston Mat airfield plates
- Detailed assembly instructions
The kit is supplied on detailed plastic sprues and is presented in 1:48 scale. The box measures 410 x 260 x 55 mm, providing a compact format for a diorama subject that combines an aircraft model with figures and ground accessories.

Specifications
These aircraft flew extensive bombing operations across Europe—complex missions that demanded high skill from their crews. Each B-26 Marauder crew included pilots, bombardier-navigators, and rear gunners. The bombers operated from various airfields: permanent facilities with hard, durable surfaces and temporary field airstrips built with special Marston Mat planking. Made of steel, these planks could withstand heavy loads and created stable airfield surfaces for different aircraft on soft or unstable ground. Their perforated design allowed water to drain without compromising surface quality. Such Marston Mat airfields were common in Italy and France during 1944–1945.
