ICM 48278 Plastic model kit aircraft Scale 1:48 B-26K Counter Invader (early)

Douglas B-26K Counter Invader (Early) is a 1/48 scale plastic model kit by ICM representing a modified attack aircraft developed from the Douglas A-26 Invader family. The B-26K Counter Invader served with the United States Air Force during the Cold War period and was adapted for counter-insurgency and ground attack missions.

The aircraft originated from the World War II A-26 Invader design but received major upgrades in the 1960s. The Counter Invader program strengthened the airframe, updated avionics, and added expanded external weapon capability to support operational use in Southeast Asia.

Douglas B-26K Counter Invader - Cold War Attack Aircraft

The early version of the B-26K retained the recognizable twin-engine configuration of the Invader family while incorporating modifications intended for extended operations and improved strike capability. Aircraft of this type operated from forward bases during the Vietnam War period.

For modelers: Twin-engine aircraft kits benefit from careful alignment of engine nacelles and landing gear assemblies. Completing cockpit and internal fuselage painting before closing the main fuselage sections helps simplify later assembly stages.
