About product

B-26K Counter Invader in the Early Configuration, 1:48 Scale

An injection-molded plastic kit of a twin-engine attack aircraft in 1:48 scale from the Ukrainian manufacturer ICM, in the form described as the early configuration. The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. This type has been issued in more than one boxing, so what decides when choosing is the exact wording of the name, including the note about the early configuration.

The real subject

The B-26K Counter Invader came about through an extensive rebuild of the older Douglas A-26 Invader attack aircraft. The aim was to bring a proven airframe into the conditions of counter-insurgency operations, where flying was done low, for long hours and from simple airfields. The rebuild touched the load-bearing structure of the wing, the powerplant, the equipment of the cockpit and the ability to carry stores under the wing. Early and later machines differ outwardly in details of fittings and in the equipment of the wingtips, so the choice of boxing determines what particular form the finished model will take.

Building and painting tips

A twin-engine aircraft in 1:48 stands or falls on preparation: the cockpit interior is finished before the fuselage is closed, and it is worth trying straight away whether the model will sit back on its tail. The glazing is masked before the primer goes on. The engine nacelles are best fitted after a dry fit, so that the propellers sit in the same plane. A matte camouflage scheme is sprayed with an airbrush in thin coats; the area under the decals is given a coat of gloss varnish and, once dry, everything is unified with a matte one. The finish belongs to bringing out the panel lines and a mild soiling of the underside of the fuselage.

Who the model is for

  • Modelers interested in American attack aircraft
  • Collectors of aviation hardware in 1:48 scale
  • Those interested in machines flown in the 1960s
  • Modelers who already have experience of a twin-engine aircraft

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

From an extensive rebuild of the older Douglas A-26 Invader attack aircraft, for use in counter-insurgency operations.

The differences lie in details of the fittings and in the equipment of the wingtips. Which configuration you get is determined by the exact wording of the name of the set.

What is stated on the box decides. Lay the decals on a gloss base and unify them with a matte varnish once they are dry.

With aircraft that have nose gear this is a common risk. It pays to try the balance before the fuselage is closed and to add nose weight if needed.
