Biafra Invader
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 [...]
Box Scale Monogram B-26 Invader
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. [...]
A-36 Apache dive bomber! Now is that a Mustang or not?
At first sight the A-36 Apache looks like a representative of those early P-51 Mustang variants that were still powered by the American Allison engine. I would like to claim that even a second look will only produce few doubts to have a [...]

86th Fighter Group Archive of the A-36
Around 2009-2010 Collings was searching for a paint scheme for their newly restored A-36. At some point an envelope of photos showed up full of photos from the 86th FG that was based in Italy. The cowling section from TUTU still exists and [...]
Review: We’re Being Invaded! Actually ICM’s B-26B Invader 1/48, it’s here.
It truly has been a great end of the year. With anticipating announcement earlier in the year now becoming available. Then those we have been waiting for like the AMK F-14D that seem like it would never be produced, during that span [...]
ICM B-26 Invader arrived!
Before anyone complains about lack of photos, there are lots of hi-rez photos of the parts at various websites (Scalmates, etc.) that are better than any I can do here.
Overall: With the parts in-hand, the kit lives up to the hype and our [...]
