The DB-26B/C Invader is a versatile machine used by the US Air Force as a bomber, ground support aircraft, and for reconnaissance as well as for transporting Q-2 drones during the Cold War. The ICM kit faithfully recreates the aircraft's characteristic features—including various nose configurations, pilot cockpit, pylon arrangement, and the option to display the aircraft with drones in launch configuration. A separate sub-assembly allows for the construction of two finely detailed Q-2 drones—early unmanned aerial vehicles used for both training and combat purposes.

This model is recommended for both experienced modelers and ambitious intermediate aviation enthusiasts. The 1/48 scale, crisp panel lines, detailed cockpit, and richly equipped interior allow for an impressive result once painted. The build difficulty is rated at 4/5—use of basic modeling tools is recommended, and for best results, apply your own weathering and detailing techniques.
