Well not really... AFAIK ICM didn't announce an A-26K.

Great news for 48th build Invader fans this year, is the the Invader wing moldings in Bobcats 26 November Tweet?

[71chally 7,048]

...disregard, can see they were of the Beagles wings!

Nothing on their twitter feed since April?

If not the A-26K what else are Bobcat working on?

I have given up on this one at the moment as i couldn’t find anything  on this project recently....

Hope it still comes but for now i am happy to convert my ICM kit to a K with the old paragon conversion and cutting edge c-135 wheel set i have ...

 

cheers, Jan

I wouldn’t worry too much about not hearing about progress on this kit.  Previous Xuntong/Bobcat kits have been announced then pop up much later.  I get the feeling they operate under radio silence.  Their recent Firebar/Brewer and Beagle kits popped up after long periods without an update.

 

As to other things they might be working on, they at one point announced a Tupolev SB-2, which would be cool.

 

 The Counter Invader would probably sell better though.

Tupolev SB-2 is reported nearly ready and coming soon for years now...

Could still be coming.  Or not.  We’ll know for sure when it arrives.  All their other stuff seems to arrive that way.
