OMG what a fantastic model and as always excellent quality. The runway display looks incredible as well. To try and describe the history of This aircraft would take a book. I believe she is on display at Meachem airport in Ft. Worth ,Texas. She also performs at airshows They changed the A to B 26 in 1947 when the Army Air force went to strictly Air Force. ( fought in WW2 and Korea). Specially Kay was a trainer for the "K" version and then Forest fire tanker. In the first part of the Vietnam war the B26 was flown by the CIA out of Laos, (1963) on night recon and interdiction runs against the Ho Chi Minh trail - primarily at night that's why she has a black underside, so those are indeed napalm pods and there was no Topgun position but special operations equipment in that top side area. ( always flying low level so need need for old style fighter protection) .Very effective , great to fly and airframe heavily modied for the mission. Military units that flew her in Vietnam were the 603rd Air Combat Support Squadron and the 609th Special Operations Squadron. A26's also flew in Pay of Pigs, CIA mission taking heavy loses because US support was pulled at the last minute by POTUS - JFK. 4 went in anyway and 3 lost. Not only do you have an awesome model, but a piece of history rarely acknowledged.
Wait how do you actually get it
You said there is a button to press to even buy this thing
Good info as always! The real “Special Kay” actually crashed recently. They are in the process of rebuilding it.
@@pamtroup4571 the link to purchase is in my Video description.
@@MilitaryVehicleReviews OMG, I have been out of touch thanks for the update. Poor girl has seen some rough times. They could definitely clip the tree tops but it was kind of like driving a 57 Chevy without power steering. As I recall she was purchased after crashing from a fire drop. Kind of like golf, repairing WW2 aircraft is a rich mans game for sure. Thanks again, I'll switch over to the link and catch up.
I love Hobby Master's products. Like they are number one when it comes to details, textures, paint and much more. It's like they give love to every model they make
I agree! They are really good at the details.
Hobby Master, Century Wings, and X-Plus/Air Commander (same F-4 Phantom Molds, pretty sure X-Plus was either bought out or rebranded to Air Commander, and they ONLY make F-4 Phantoms but have the best F-4 models out there) are the best.
Occasionally Corgi too lol
This looks awesome. I was in the Special K at Oshkosh 2018 EAA Flyin. It is a A-26 which was used in special operations in Vietnam, I'm going to order this right now..
I love HM models!
Sweet model plane! Nice detail with the pilots.
Really awesome!
LOOKS AWESOME!!!🤯🤯😍💯💯💯💯
Amazing video as always!
Thanks WonTon! 😁💯
Muito legal! Muito lindo! 🌟
good evening~top !Military.
I'm am here now
good video and cool model but i'm pretty sure you put the round rocket pods backwards, the rockets come out of the holes
Vietnam War camo 👍🏻
Yup!
great job with the model! btw why are these plane models so expensive?
they're highly detailed...
I bought the SAAF P-51D Mustang and FW-190 Yellow 5.
Those are good models! I am looking at getting the FW-190 myself.
Be nice if the Engine Cowlings came off too..
Meu sonho ter um
Onde vc compra esses avião
I love your videos
Thank you!
@@MilitaryVehicleReviews how about next time you unbox a b29 Bomber
Do the hobby master panavia tornado "mig eater"
The longer “rocket pods” are actually full of small baseball sized bombs called “cluster bombs.”
And you put them on backwards.
Very detailed plane. Can you unbox a B17G Flying Fortress
I agree!
@Military Vehicle Reviews Can you do a B17G flying Fortress unboxing?
Mano por favor fala aí onde vc compra esses aviões 🥺
The bomber version is pretty badass
It's powered by two Pratt&Whitney R-2800-79 air cooled Radial Engines with take off power of 2760 HP, and a max power of a whopping 2320 HP, with a crew of three, 2 are gunners with two remote control turrets, it has 8 12.7mm Browning M2 Machine guns, and 4 12.7mm M2 Machine Guns, and we can't forget a bomber without talking about the bombs, it can carry 10 500LB bombs, 4 1000LB bombs, 2 1 ton Bombs, 20 100LB bombs, and 14 HVAR Rockets
as for the fighter version (A-26B-50)
It has 3 crew, with one (yep, JUST ONE) gunner, still with two Remote control turrets, and for the offensive weapons, magic will happen, I chose the A-36B-50 cause it has 14 (yes) FOURTEEN 12.7mm Browning M2 Machine guns, and 4 12.7mm Browning M2 Machine guns for the two turrets, it has 4 1000LB bombs, but now has 6 500LB, 8 250LB, and 16 100LB bombs, and 14 HVAR rockets
Bro, did hobby master have a b-17 or b-24?
Is it 1/76 scale? Diorama looks great.
Its 1/72 scale. 💯
The B-26 served in WW2, because of the need for bombers, another bomber was also taken into service (Douglas A-26). The B-26 went out of service after the ww2. The Douglas A-26 was still used in the Korean War. During the Vietnam War, the A-26 was renamed B-26K (converted for special assignments). Suspensions under the wings were fitted. I have 2 different B-26K from Hobbymaster (old and new batch). The modern pilots are for the B-26K, the A-26 (ww2 & korea) have the old pilots.
Eh not quite. After the Air Force became a separate service they did away with the attack designation. Thus the A-26 became the B-26 (by this time the Martin Marauder was retired). Due to Thailand not allowing the us to operate “bombers” from their airspace early in the war, the B-26K was redesignated the A-26A.
@@SolomonSamson747 Please read what it says, it's the same thing you say. I gave a brief explanation about the history of B-26K. The original B-26 belonged to Martin, yes. To avoid confusion, another "Douglas B-26" was called A-26. Invader was first A-26 then became B-26. During the Vietnam War, the last version B-26K reverted to A-26.Because it had an attack role instead of being a bomber and for Thailand's sake. Not all B-26K became A-26A.
Firstly that’s not what you said, secondly ALL B-26 aircraft in USAF inventory at the time were are designated A-26.
@@SolomonSamson747You are wrong in your timeline and have lost the 2 names. The B-26 (Martin Marauder) served in the USAAF in WW2, but didn't served in the USAF. The A-26 invader served in the USAAF (until 1947) USAF started in 1947 with planes of the USAAF. The B-26 (Marauder) get retired, the A-26 Invader was recalled to B-26 by the USAF. Other countries (where the Invader served )hold the A-26 name. The Douglas A-26 Invader was in 1948 (months after the creation of the USAF) got the name B-26 (untill 1966). The JD-1 (US NAVY A-26) became in 1962 UB-26J or DB-26J.
São lindos mais muito caros
Do a B17 fortress bomber and the German ww2 bomber used in the Battle of Britain
And also, the Schuco, 1/72 scale, diecast, Lockheed 1049 Super "G" Constellation in Lufthansa or KLM livery. It's a biggy!
is that plane also served in korean war and in bay of pigs invasion? i usually heard that plane served during world war two.
The A/B-26 came into service late in WW2 and served all the way into the Vietnam conflict in varying roles.
Next time put the scale in the title please
The eyeless pilots are wwii, the modern pilots are wearing the correct attire for Vietnam
Napalm was certainly used during the Korean War.
Oiiii
