Italeri A-26B Invader Aircraft Kit 1:72

The Italeri A-26B Invader in 1:72 scale brings the lines of Douglas' twin-engine attack aircraft into a compact model kit with a strong historical identity. This detailed aircraft build focuses on the B variant, the most widely produced version of the Invader, known for its heavily armed closed nose and its long operational career across several major conflicts. The original aircraft entered frontline service in 1944 and remained in use well beyond World War II, appearing later in the Korean, Indochina and Vietnam wars. That long service life gives the A-26B Invader a broad historical context that stands out in a collection of military aircraft. The source aircraft was powered by 2 Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial engines, each rated at 2000 horsepower. At full operational load, the Invader could reach 570 km/h, a figure that underlines the performance behind its purposeful airframe. Marking options add another layer of detail to the finished model, with a super decal sheet for 4 versions included in this new decals edition. The 1:72 scale keeps the aircraft manageable on the workbench and easy to place in a display cabinet alongside other aviation subjects. Recommended age: 14 years.
