About product

A rebuilt Invader for the war in the jungle

Douglas's attack machine from the end of the Second World War was given a second life in the middle of the 1960s. The firm On Mark Engineering strengthened the wing, added tip tanks and mounted eight heavy machine guns in the nose so that the aircraft could handle hours of patrolling over the trails in Southeast Asia. That produced the variant designated B-26K, nicknamed Nimrod. When the machines headed for a base in Thailand, they were redesignated A-26A because of a local condition that no bombers be present, although it was the same type. The slow, heavily armed machine proved more accurate than jet fighter-bombers.

Glazing that calls for patience

The cockpit of the Invader has a low glazed cover with several separate fields and a glazed nose with it. The applied parts guarantee that the edges of the frames will not differ in width and that paint will not run under the glass in the places hand-cut tape reaches badly. The work is thereby shortened from tens of minutes to a few, and the risk of scratching the clear part while trimming tape with a knife also disappears.

  • The cut matches the 1:72 kit by Italeri
  • Aimed at the transparent areas of the pilot's cover
  • This variant of the set holds no insignia and no lettering
  • The film withstands solvent-based and water-thinned paints
  • Once removed, the glass is left without matte smears

The finishes of the Nimrods were dark and matte, so the contrast between the frame and the clear glass stands out all the more. On a model with such a finish every imperfection at the boundary of the glass is easy to read and a sharp frame is among the first things a viewer notices.

FAQ

To the 1:72 Counter Invader by Italeri. The cut comes from the dimensions of the frames on that particular clear part.

The scope is not stated here in any more detail. The set deals with the transparent areas of the pilot's cover; on the glazed nose we recommend reckoning with filling in with tape of your own.

Best of all only for the time of painting and drying. A longer stay on the model makes peeling harder and raises the risk of an imprint of adhesive being left on the part.

It is the same machine under a different designation and the shape of the glazing does not change. What decides is which kit you have.
