Hobby Boss A-26B Invader

HobbyBoss plastic model kit in 1:32 scale of the military aircraft Douglas A-26B Invader, model number 83213. This detailed kit replicates the American twin-engine light bomber and attack aircraft that was extensively used during World War II and in subsequent conflicts. The model features precisely constructed fuselage and wing components with exact engineering, finely detailed cockpit and landing gear bay interiors, profiled rubber tires for a realistic appearance, and includes photo-etched metal parts for enhanced details. The A-26 Invader, later redesignated as B-26 between 1948 and 1965, served as a versatile combat aircraft capable of carrying double the specified payload capacity while maintaining high-speed performance. This aircraft was deployed in several theaters, including the European and Pacific campaigns of World War II, NATO operations in Europe, the Korean War, and various Cold War conflicts, before being retired from National Guard service in 1972. The assembled kit measures approximately 45 cm in wingspan, with individual plastic components requiring assembly and painting. Made from high-quality plastic materials with photo-etched metal accents, this model kit offers a challenging project for adult model-building enthusiasts interested in military aviation history and scale modeling. The comprehensive kit includes all necessary components for building a detailed replica, focusing on historical accuracy and construction precision, without the need for electrical components to complete it.
