Alan R Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Hi All, Just to show that I don't only do cars and bikes, I present the Italeri Douglas A-26C. It was bought for my son many years ago, and he had built it to a high standard, but had not completed the painting or decaling. I didn't have to do much to finish it, and it languished on the shelf for three or more years without wheels and still with all the masking on. Anyway, I finally made the last push, put the undercarriage and bomb-bay doors and wheels on, and here we are: On the whole, an enjoyable build. My son enjoyed what he did, but A-levels and a degree got in the way, and he hasn't got back into the hobby yet. I'm afraid, I can't claim all the glory for this one. Thanks for looking, Alan. 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan R Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) hi MM, Thanks for the compliment. My son has to take the most of the kudos, as he did most of the actual construction. If I recall, I put the engines on and some of the bomb-bay, but that's all really. I did the paint job and decaling. Cheers, Alan.

stevehnz Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I like that. The night intruder scheme is such a good one & on an attractive aircraft like this, can't fail to be a winner, as you've shown so well. 👍 Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRunner Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) @Alan R. I have a plan - one day - for the remaining Invader in my pile, for RB-26P 44-35512. It was the last Invader in French service, finally succumbing to the Cazeaux ranges....... Martin Edited June 3, 2019 by RidgeRunner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
