A-26A Invader with Paragon conversion set
Here are a few shots of my B-26K (A-26A)Counter Invader or whatever the
real designation may be. I called it an A-26K for many years until I read
the detail & scale book and found out that it never carried that
designation.

The kit is the 1/48 scale Revell A-26B
Invader, not the pro modeler and the conversion kit is from Paragon and
the pilots are from other Revell kits. Most of the weapons, bomblet
dispenser, Napalm and rocket pods are from Kendall Skyraider Weapons set.
I built this kit for my father years ago to
an increasing collection of aircraft that flew "Blind Bat" flare
missions. The aircraft I still have left build is a Falcon vacuform B-57
Canberra and a better quality A-1E Skyraider
The aircraft depicted is on display at
Hulbert Field in Florida and is in standard SEA paint scheme. These
aircraft also had very little markings, known to some as
"sanitized", carrying only the tail numbers.
