ICM 48280 B-26K with USAF Pilots & Ground Personnel 1/48 Model Kit

Item No: 48280.

Build a complete snapshot of Vietnam War operations with this comprehensive B-26K Counter Invader set. Entering USAF service in spring 1964, the Counter Invader was urgently deployed to Southeast Asia by 1966 to combat guerrilla threats. Operating from Thai bases under the redesignated A-26A designation—a diplomatic necessity since Thailand restricted bomber operations—these aircraft flew covert missions into Laos without national markings, reflecting the undeclared nature of the campaign. Nocturnal operations became standard practice, as the lethal Vietnamese air defense systems posed extreme risks to slower piston-powered aircraft. This 1/48 scale ICM kit stands apart by including detailed USAF pilot and ground personnel figures, allowing you to recreate authentic mission scenarios and ground operations. Perfect for modelers seeking to capture the human element and tactical realities of this pivotal Cold War conflict.
