A-26 Invader Glass Nose model aircraft, wingspan 19 in. x length 14 in. . Hand carved from solid mahogany and completely hand painted. Your model comes complete with a solid mahogany and chrome stand as shown. With deadly firepower and high speed, this light attack bomber exceeded every specification for which it was designed. The Invader was the best ground-attack and tactical bomber in the American arsenal. The A-26 saw action in both theaters of WWII, Korea and Vietnam. It was the last propeller-driven, twin-engine bomber that would be built for the Air Force. Our master craftsmen,working from three-dimensional drawings, chip away the excess wood from the kiln-dried block until an airplane amazingly appears. They work their tools with remarkable precision and unusual attention to detail. Several stages of fine sanding, between primer coats, produce a silky smooth finish ready for final painting. Talented artists using ultra-fine brushes, paint the nose art, stripes and markings. We select the aircraft and paint schemes for their historical significance and authenticity. A final coat of clear lacquer provides lasting protection to the exquisite finish. Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery. Every order gets our personal attention! (311) AA26GN
