Hi! Need help with Monogram A:26 Invader!

General Discussion General Modeling Discussion

Hello,

I haven’t built models since highschool (I’m 32 now). I am a paratrooper and artillery officer in the 82nd ABN. I love model airplanes! I just built a “Phantom Mustang” and was very sketchy on it., but ok (it really isn’t a good model).

I am starting the Monogram 1:48 A-26C and have the kits to covert it to an A-26B (gun nose and lower turret) from Aero Master. I want to do areally good job and need all the help I can get! I want to make it a WW II 9th AF 386th BG but no one seems to make those!

I also have the Tamiya 1:32 F4D Phantom that I want to do in IL ANG 183rd FG late career markings., but that is another story!

Any help would be appreciated!

Sincerely,

Niels

Niels, The only A-26 stuff I have in my files is for Korean war Aircraft, A double conversion, one was an eight gun, the other glass nosed. They were in the June 2001 edition of Scale Aviation modeller intrenational, a Brit magazine.
(www.sampublications.com) they do have back issues, you may find a few useful bits in there. The author lists a book you may find useful; A-26 Invader at war (#134) by Squadron - Signal publications.
For decals, try Hannants in the UK, if they haven’t got it, it doesn’t exist!
good luck
Pete
