Academy Scale 1/72 USN PBM-5A Mariner Flying Boat w/Aus Decals Plastic Model Kit (12586)
The Academy 1/72 PBM-5A Mariner model kit offers a detailed representation of the post-war amphibious flying boat used by the U.S. Navy and Royal Australian Air Force. Developed by the Glenn L. Martin Company, the PBM-5A was designed for long-range patrol, anti-submarine warfare, and search and rescue missions. This kit includes Australian decal options and features the amphibian version with retractable tricycle undercarriage.
The model showcases the aircraft's distinctive gull wings, detailed cockpit, and opening bomb bays with interior detail. Builders can choose between armed turrets or faired-over versions, and between 3-blade or 4-blade propellers. Movable control surfaces and finely engraved panel lines enhance the realism of this historically significant aircraft.
