About product

Resin wing gun barrels for the A-26 Invader 1:48 (Quickboost)

This is a detail accessory, not an aircraft kit. The set replaces the gun barrels mounted in the wing of the American Douglas A-26 Invader attack aircraft in 1:48 scale. On parts this thin, injection-molded plastic always has a parting line that can only be leveled at the cost of losing the circular section; a resin casting removes that compromise.

The real subject

The Douglas A-26 Invader was a twin-engined attack aircraft of the end of the Second World War which, thanks to its solid structure and good performance, stayed in active service for many years afterwards. Besides the armament in the nose, a number of machines also carried weapons in the wing, which from the front forms a prominent line of small details. On a model these barrels are one of the features that immediately give away the quality of the build when you look at the leading edge.

Building and painting tips

Before you start, sort the parts into pairs for the left and the right wing and lay them out on a light surface, so that the small castings do not get lost. Widen the holes in the wing with a drill turned in your fingers, not with a power drill, which will cut through the thin wall. Fit the barrels dry and check that they are parallel and project equally, and only then secure them with a drop of super glue. After a primer, a dark metallic shade, fine lightening of the muzzles and finally unification with a matte clear coat work well, so that the sheen of the barrels does not jump out from the rest of the wing.

Who the set is for

  • builders of the Invader in 1:48 who are refining the armament of a model
  • modelers building from photographs of a particular machine
  • more experienced builders used to small resin parts
  • display models looked at from close up and from the front

The accessory is supplied unpainted. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package.

FAQ

There is not. The package holds only replacement wing gun barrels; the kit itself in 1:48 scale has to be bought separately.

Usually it is enough to widen the existing holes carefully with a hand drill, so that the barrel seats square. Work in small steps and try it dry.

Fit them dry, look at the wing from the front against the light and only once the height and the direction match, secure them with a drop of super glue.

Yes, washing in soapy water because of the mold release agent and a coat of primer. Without that the paint will not hold on the smooth surface.
