B-26K Counter Invader

Just completed this model of the B-26K Counter Invader. Loved the kit, but it was a pain in the but to build.

Finished in time for the regional IPMS show and was surprised to take home Best in Category (Airplane) with it.

Really impressive work but forgive me.... is that not an A26?

Outstanding work! I just did a A10 and it looks like crap. I can't see like I used to.   

I envy your skill sir

The B-26 Marauder was retired from service shortly after WW2 ended, while the A-26 Invader remained.

The US Air Force did away with the attack designation in 1947 when they became their own branch of the military. Therefore, the A-26 was redesignated to B-26. Similar to how the P-51 became the F-51.

Nice job and Congrats on the award, but its too clean for me. I like to dirty mine up.

It is tough to see, but there is exhaust staining and chipping. Had to change some of the camera setting or it would come out too dark.

Good looking FW!
