Hello, steemians!
I'm back with another model kit review!
For this kit review, I'll be looking at the kit for a 1/72 scale Martin Maryland, an early WW2 light bomber. This kit was produced in the 1990s by the model kit company, Eastern Express. This kit was bought on the secondary market on Ebay.
The Martin Maryland was designed and built by the Martin aircraft company in 1938 in an attempt to win a U.S. government contract to supply the planes for military service. Martin did not win the U.S. contract, but the planes were ordered by both Great Britain and France in 1939. About 450 of the planes were built to fill the orders, and France received about 215 of the planes before the French surrender after the German invasion of 1940.
The rest of the production of the Martin Maryland went to the British RAF where they were used in various roles, including photo reconnaissance in the North African campaign.
Here's my kit review video. The video is about 9 minutes long.
Thanks for checking out my kit review video! I hope you found it interesting.
