Eduard 491262 is a high-quality photo-etched detail set dedicated to the B-26K Invader model by ICM in 1/48 scale. This product was designed to enhance the realism and detail of model representations of the American tactical bomber, the Douglas B-26K Invader, which was used during the Cold War period and in the Vietnam conflict. This aircraft was an advanced development of the earlier A-26 Invader and mainly served in the United States Air Force (USAF), where it was used in special operations and counterinsurgency missions, such as Operation Barrel Roll in Laos or during close air support in Vietnam in the 1960s.
