Sorry, for being a major pain in the ass, but here's the inevitable question
"Any news?"

Which makes all the difference in the world ...   ::)

Okay Czk.................  I'm confused now, which is it yer working on..............  sounds like the B-26 is the easiest to finish first, because yer over doin it on the AD skins... give RDDR a ring and let him help you out, I'm sure the boys over at A&A would love to get their hands on your Skyraider template......

Now back to work and stop teasing us.......

Reading through this topic I see a few screen shots of the A-26...

Just by chance I wondered if there were plans to do the nose guns horizontally as against vertically.....Or as a load out option ? 'Early n Late'



Now I'm no Invader expert but all I can find is that the later variants had them vertical and the WWIIs had them as I show?

She is a looker whatever  8) Thanks  :)

Hi

The late-WW2 gunnosed versions who will be (propably) in the pack are all 8-gun-nosed versions (vertical of course) with 6 guns in the wings.
...and additional Crazyflak has a special bonbon in the pipeline.. 8)... but I will not say more

 ;D This will be really nice If I can replace the A-20s (painted as A-26s) in my resurrected Redstar/Whitestar1948 cmpn. And It actually LOOKs like an A-26.

Crazyflak; watch "Always" again. I'm sure that will get you inspired, especially with Holly Hunter buzzing the field.  :P

The skinner guys will go nuts. This is a shot I took at an airshow in Guntersville Ala in early 92.


I thought that the A-26 is a single place cockpit, however I think there must be a jump seat to the right rear (since the pilot sits toward the left), as this guy is standing up checking clearance. This is a Korea color scheme.




Another Korea skin, Harlengen 89. Dmned if it doesn't look like it has two seats up front.


Another C, devoid of turrets.


This was an executive conversion that was in the process of having its turrets fitted (I dunno where the guy found them, but I saw them in the hangar). Had just been obtained by the former Air Acres museum in Cartersville Ga.  I did photography for them, and this AC was aquired by them at this airshow in Titusville Fla (89). While enroute to an airshow the next yr, the owner somehow got the tail of his newly restored T-37C in the prop arc, and was unable to eject since the Federal Aviation admin (FAA) refused to let him activate the ejection seats, killing him and a passenger. The A-26 made it back ok, but the museum folded. I have no idea where the AC is now. Went well with their B-25 and C-119.


I hope we get to use this soon, and I like the rest, really appreciate all the work. I hope to be worthy of this effort with my work in the FMB when it comes out.

In meantime You could use this stopgap fake-Invader https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,11067.msg120020.html#msg120020 fort shorten the time  ;)

Its still an tweaked A-20 but with the armament of the A-26  8)

Veerry interesting.  :o

I hope you got some post 1947 USAF skins in there because that's what it's needed for. Looks great, for a stand in. I was using the A-20G in my old 1948 project with an excellent A-26 lookign skin designed for my project by an old squadmate. Has the shell ejection chutes painted on for the 6 wing .50s. This is a bit close and will certainly do for a while. Thanks for pointing that out.

The Invader was used also in WW2 in Europe and IIRC there's a squadron operating it in the Pacific too.
