1/72 Douglas A-26B-56-DL Invader Iwakuni 1950

Description

This is a die-cast metal and plastic display aircraft.

From the Hobby Master website:

In 1941 Douglas Aircraft Company began work on their twin-engine medium-bomber A-26 Invader. By the end of production there were 2,452 aircraft produced for all variants. The A- 26/B-26 was the only U.S. bomber to take part in three wars, WWII, Korea and Vietnam. The confusion with the use of the designation B-26 began when the Martin B-26 Marauder was retired and in 1948 the USAF dropped the A (Attack) designator so the Douglas A-26 Invader became the B-26 Invader. The A-26 made its first European appearance in late 1944.

This is a pre-painted and mostly pre-assembled 1/72 scale diecast desktop model of the Douglas A-26B-56-DL Invader, 13th Bomber sqn., 3rd Bomber Wing Iwakuni AB, South Korea, August 1950. Includes an in-flight display stand.
