Martin PBM5 Mariner (PBM5A also possible!)

The PBM was designed in the late 1930's and first deployed in the early 1940's as a sea-based U.S. Navy patrol bomber and transport. The Mariner was also well suited for search and rescue operations. It was a large aircraft carrying a crew of 7 to10 and had a flight range of over 2000 miles. This new 1/72 scale kit represents the PBM-5 seaplane, the single most-produced aircraft in the Mariner family. The PBM-5 seaplane features new tooling for beaching gear, depth bombs for positioning in the fully-detailed bomb bays. Recessed panel lines, detailed twin engines with positionable cowl flaps and control surfaces, and markings for the PBM-5 "Nightmare'
