Martin AM Mauler em Escala / In Scale
Sim, outro post da série "aviação em escala"! E aproveitando que tenho muito apresso pelos aviões navais da US NAVY dos anos 1950/60, vamos falar sobre o Martin AM Mauler!
Yes, another post in the "scale aviation" series! And taking advantage of the fact that I love the US NAVY naval planes from the 1950s / 60s, let's talk about Martin AM Mauler!

Uma das principais características do avião era o motor Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major, que era um motor radial de quatro carreiras de 28 cilindros projetado e construído durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, sendo o motor a pistão aeronáutico de maior cilindrada a ser produzido em massa nos Estados Unidos.
One of the main features of the airplane was it's Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major powerplant, which was a 28-cylinder four-row radial piston aircraft engine designed and built during World War II, and the largest-displacement aviation piston engine to be mass produced in the United States.
In service, the Mauler earned the nickname "Able Mable" because of its remarkable load-carrying ability, once lifting 10,648 pounds (4,830 kg) of ordnance (three 2,200-pound (998 kg) torpedoes, a dozen 250-pound bombs plus its 20 mm guns, perhaps the heaviest load ever carried by a single-engine, piston-powered aircraft.
In the 1/72 scale there are two injected / Multimedia kits, Ace and Siga. They are "short run" kits, that is, with small runs and relatively good level of details. However, the injection quality of the plastic is not always very good.

CMK also has a resin kit in 1/72 scale, with parts and metal and PE as well.
In the 1/48 scale we are limited to the Collect Aire resin kit, which being resin is a kit for experienced modellers, but it is a great representation of Mauler.
