Italeri 1/72 A-26B Invader - Recreate a WWII light attack bomber

The Italeri 1/72 A-26B Invader scale model gives hobbyists a chance to build a faithful replica of the Douglas A-26 Invader, introduced in the summer of 1944. Known for its speed and rugged performance, the Invader flew more than 11,000 missions by the end of the war and later saw service in Korea and Vietnam.

Why the A-26B matters to modellers

This kit highlights the A-26B's operational significance with parts that reproduce the aircraft's streamlined fuselage and twin-prop layout. Builders who value period accuracy will appreciate the options for historical paint schemes and authentic markings included in the kit.

Assembly tips and presentation ideas for the A-26B

Model builders will find the Italeri A-26B rewarding but involving. Careful trimming and precise gluing will improve fit and finish, and fine brushwork on the propellers and canopy will enhance realism. Once finished, the model makes a strong display piece for a cabinet or diorama focused on mid-20th century military aviation.
