AMT also released a 1/48 Marauder around the same time as Monogram’s in the 70’s. According to reviews, the exterior was good, but it had the typical spartan AMT interior of their aircraft models. I would not mind finding one of those and giving it a shot, seeing how there is not much to see inside on the B-26 in usual configuration.
75-100 bucks on Ebay! They have several...

I have the AMT kit and as I remember it looks nice in the box. A source for the cockpit would be the resin one that came with a special edition of the Monogram B-26, or use the plastic from the Monogram kit in the AMT kit. It's probably a toss up as to which might be the easier build but I wouldn't pay big bucks to get the AMT kit. If anyone is dying for the Monogram kit I could spare one.

Maybe around 2 will find the molds and reissue the kit. They have done several of the contemporary AMT releases such as the Tempest, Corsair, Meteor, and such.
But eBay prices have gotten ridiculous over the past few years.
