HartDeco Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) Hi all. Here is my latest finished model; the impressive 1/48 B-26K (A-26A) Counter Invader from ICM. This is probably the most anticipated version of the A-26 invader family After the only options were the Monogram kit with resin conversion parts or the Must Have kit, which didn't look that impressive when I opened the box. In my opinion, ICM did a great job although there are a few areas that need some impoving. Luckily, Vector produces a corrected gun nose and a set of propellers, which I both ordered from NeOmega in the UK. The kit builds quite nice and there are no major issues with the fit of the parts. The soft plastic however makes assembly a bit fiddly from time to time. Apart from the nose and props, I also used a pre coloured pe set from Eduard to spice up the interior and resin reduction cases from Quickboost. The (incorrect) wheels are from Eduard and I liked them better than the kit wheels although the rims are the wrong type. The model was painted with MrHobby acrylics over a black primer base from Alclad. Weathering was done with Abteilung 502 oilpaints.

thepureness Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 That first photo is just perfect and captures the invaders profile so well. It's making me think if I want to keep my first boxing of the kit or grab the counter invader boxing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Brilliant job on the Counter Invader! My favourite version of one of my favourite aeroplanes. I have a kit waiting for my attention, and I don't normally build 1/48th scale kits. Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
