    I’ve built three of these kits using resin and PE enhancements. This oldie kit has a few warts but can become a great display with the right touch ups.

    The invader was extremely good at what it did, and it did a lot. Other than the C-47, it was the only US aircraft to serve in WWII, the Korean War and Vietnam. The pilots said it flew more like a fighter aircraft and once it dropped the impressive 4,000 lb. bomb load it did just that. It was credited with shooting down 7 Luftwaffe, single engine fighters in air-to-air combat. It boasted up to 18 .50 caliber guns. No other US aircraft including the YB-40 carried more than that. It could also carry up to 14 HVAR rockets under the wings, also more than any other US aircraft. The remotely controlled, defensive guns were very advanced and only the P-61 and B-29 shared this cutting-edge technology. I've built 3 of the Monogram kits and was happy with the overall product but I'll admit that the ICM kit is an upgrade. It is more accurate in every aspect except for the cockpit, though it is more fidgety to build.
