The Douglas A-26B, A-26C, B-26B, B-26C, and A-26K models by Dreamscape Studios are the latest high-value creations. These models are nearly to scale (within a couple of percent in overall dimensions), fully painted with realistic textures, and contain intricate details. The models include geometrically detailed radial engines, partially detailed cockpits, rear gunner positions, and forward positions for C models with seat, controls, instrumentation, rudder pedals, step-down passages, animated propellers, moveable ailerons, elevators, flaps, inboard flaps, rudders, cowling flaps, landing gear retraction, and landing gear doors. Built in 2016, these models are perfect for video animation and serve as excellent animation models. The Douglas A-26B Invader was a product of the Douglas company during the early 1940s to replace the A-20 bombers and Martin B-26. As a low-level attack and bomber platform, it featured 14 machine guns or combinations of guns and cannons, an internal bomb bay, and the ability to deliver a large bomb load. The aircraft was fast for a twin-engine radial plane, rugged, reliable, and went into production in 1943. During World War II, they were stationed at the front lines. The A-26B models had a "hard nose" with a navigator/gun loader in the forward cockpit and a gunner in the rear. They were used for staffing, ground attacks, and supporting low to medium level bombing missions. The A-26C model featured a clear nose and had a navigator bombardier stationed inside. Machine guns remained in the wings, and strafing was part of its capabilities. After World War II, these aircraft continued to serve in the USAAF and USAF under the B-26 designation. During the Korean conflict, B-26B and C models saw active service. The A-26 later underwent a major upgrade with refinements in wing, structure, power plant, increased horsepower, external weapon storage, tip tanks for extended fuel load and loiter time, and was designated as the A-26K. In the mid-1960s, A-26s saw active combat service in the Vietnam conflict. The B-26 and A-26 were also exported to other nations' air forces, sold surplus into civil use, converted into executive transports, fire fighter water tankers, or destined for museums and flying warbird displays.
