71chally Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 What do Invader experts reckon to the K version coming from this kit? Looking at the sprues it looks to me like a K could come from this kit line, the wheels, rudder, props, and engines/cowlings are all on a separate sprue (x2). There are two different rudders included (on the wing sprue), is the broader one a K rudder, or did other versions have that? Also looks like a flat upper fuselage decking panel included to delete the turret? B-26C review with detail pics here, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 We can but hope. The plate included on the rocket sprues is crossed out on the instructions for this boxing so it must be planned for something? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In situations like these I assume that ICM are alive to possibilities and would ask the question why would they not do it given that it is likely to be the best seller? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scimitar F1 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 ICM must’ve making money hand over fist. First the Gladiators then these. Will be interested to see what they will do next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71chally Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 There appears to be another cover in the kit aswel, wondering if it's to cover the top turret? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not two two-piece rudders. sorry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71chally Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Thanks Corey, I should've mentioned that I realised that when I looked at the instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey in Colorado Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) I see Quickboost has released a turret for these kits. It’s a direct replacement for the kit parts. It might be helpful as the kit mantlet is loose fitting, but what would be better is if they created a slotted gun turret as found on the Korean War Invaders. I wrote them a suggestion email. If anyone else is interested, try letting them know through the link found here. Maybe we could convince them to do one.
