The kit is the 1/48 scale Revell A-26B Invader, not the pro modeler and the conversion kit is from Paragon and the pilots are from other revell kits. Most of the weapons, bomblet dispenser, Napalm and rocket pods are from Kendall Skyraider Weapons set. I built this kit for my father years ago to an increasing collection of aircraft that flew "Blind Bat" flare missions. The aircraft I still have left build is a Falcon vacuform B-57 Canberra and a better quality A-1E Skyraider
The aircraft depicted is on display at Hulbert Field in Florida and is in standard SEA paint scheme. These aircraft also had very little markings, known to some as "sanitized", carrying only the tail numbers. Picture A-26-6 is the A-26 in its natural environment with the C-130. The other photo's are self explanatory. David
