Hi Matt, if early marauders are your thing;
in 1/72 there is the old Monogram snap tite kit which is a B-26A. snap together , but actually rather nice. I do believe that ther ewill also be some new Early B-26 kits coming out this year, if the announcements at Nurnburg can be believed. Worth bearing in mind is that the RAF's Marauder MkIa is an early B-26B variant with the short span wing and tail surfaces, with the later engine cowling.
In 1/48th scale the only option is to (heavily ) convert the Monogram (currntl issued by Revell) kit, which is a late B. This is what I have done as shown in the pictures posted by Pan_am_clipper _girl.
In this instance the style of cowlings provided makes for one less job to do.
The hardest part, I must admit was casting copies of the Monogram pro-modeller Curtiss Helldivers spinners which looked right and I can only assume were a Curtiss product supplied with the Curtiss electric propellors.
Hope that this is some help.
Matt
