This
auction is for the A-26 B/C Invader PROFILE SERIES kit in 1/72
by MPC (Airfix reissue).
The
Douglas A-26 Invader (designated B-26 between 1948 and 1965) is an American
twin-engined light bomber and ground attack aircraft. Built by Douglas Aircraft
Company during World War II, the Invader also saw service during several major
Cold War conflicts. A limited number of highly modified United States Air Force
aircraft served in Southeast Asia until 1969. It was a fast aircraft capable of
carrying a large bomb load. A range of guns could be fitted to produce a
formidable ground-attack aircraft.[4]
A
re-designation of the type from A-26 to B-26 led to confusion with the Martin
B-26 Marauder, which first flew in November 1940, some 20 months before the
Douglas design's maiden flight. Although both aircraft were powered by the
widely used Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp eighteen-cylinder,
double-row radial engine, they were completely different and separate designs –
the Martin bomber originated in 1939, with more than twice as many Marauders
(nearly 5,300) produced in comparison to the Douglas design.
