Along with the development of specialized aircraft, improvements to existing models were carried out to fulfill these tasks. Among them were cars of the B-26 family. Improvements, among other things, consisted of strengthening the wing structure and adding eight underwing points of the weapon suspension, installing an increased area rudder, adding fuel tanks at the wingtips and installing dual controls. In the spring of 1964, the USAF received first B-26K Counter Invader, and the entire order was completed by April 1965. In the spring of 1966, it was decided to deploy these aircraft to Southeast Asia. From the airfields of Thailand, they made combat missions to the territory of Laos. Since Thailand did not allow the basing of bombers on its territory, from May 1966 these aircraft began to be designated as attack aircraft - with the designation A-26A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore to read about the KIT \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.scalemates.com\/fr\/kits\/icm-48280-douglas-b-26k-counter-invader--1325568\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e, thanks to scalemates, a Belgian Scale modeling database\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ICM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53146268369242,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/files\/IMG_1536.JPG?v=1766134982","url":"https:\/\/aviation.brussels\/products\/maquette-a-monter-douglas-b-26k-counter-invader-with-usaf-pilots-ground-personnel-icm-n-48280-1-48-like-new-inside-unopened","provider":"aviation.brussels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
