In the worst case, we could ask John Wilkes to sell his vacformed parts as a correction set...! D.B. Andrus and nmayhew 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New engine cowlings and nose plus a few other details are needed anyway for the A-26K, so this is a great starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t like discussion of accuracy of kit parts, please stop reading now! *************** They do look, in that photo, much too conical, but we’ll see when the kit is released.

Out2gtcha Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Id personally say yes, as was pointed out above, the chances of someone else coming out with an IM 1/32nd Invader are nearly nil. However, if something has to be off (as it seems something almost always is) it feels like cowls and a nose might be a good thing to be off as far as AM is concerned, as it seems to be one of those parts easily produced by AM companies and can easily be retrofitted with the new parts. The nose possibly less so, since you now involve possible vacing, or clear resin, and have to deal with interiors and what-not, but still at least a part the can be put on more readily then say a section of the rear fuse, or empennage or the like.

Completely agree. To boot, Quickboost already has corrected Invader cowlings in 1/48 scale... increase the dimensions to 1/32, recast, and voila. Problem solved. The nose, especially a glass nose, we may have to live with. The gun nose is a different story, fortunately. Here's to hoping that the gun nose variants (assuming we'll get both configurations) will have internals. The new ICM 1/48 one does not. - Dennis S.
