ICM 1/48 DB26 Invader (Drone Carrier)

by Kevin Rowbotham on March 24, 2023 · in Aviation — 19 Comments

A recently completed ICM 1/48 DB26 Invader built out of the box. I replaced the kits BQM-34A (Q-2C) Firebee with a KDA-1 (Q2A) as I'm given to understand that the aircraft never flew with a mixed 'load' (?) Finished with Tamiya XF's and [...]

Here is an Italeri 1:72 A26B Invader, Biafra 1967. The standard A26B was modified to represent the unique nose, the a/c had been used in France as a radar calibration/survey a/c. I had to improvise for the colours and decals. Both the [...]

Not a quick build as expected but it turned out nice. Nose weights added to keep her grounded. MM Non-Buffing Aluminum and Sealer (I like that stuff). Strictly out of the box and amazingly the old kit decals survived with a bit of help. [...]
