Armaments in Miniature

This Invader is cast from white resin. The plane model itself is rather sturdy and the wings and tail have the proper amount of dihedral. The major components of the plane are properly proportioned and it is a good model from a distance. There are recessed panel lines included to allow for the painting of extra detail, which is definitely a benefit.

For this model, I have two main critiques. 1. The cockpit shape is wrong. This plane features a cockpit that has a uniform length on the pilot and co-pilot's side, but in the actual Invaders the pilot's windows were shorter (owing to the original design of the cockpit). I have been told that this will be corrected in future editions.

2. The front guns are improperly positioned. On this model they are all located right in the middle of the nose and stick out a the same length, like a B-25 does. However, on the Invader the guns terminate in a slanted angle. It might not be an issue for many people, but for me it was very noticeable since the guns were a prominent feature of the plane.

Overall, this is a good and affordable rendition of the Invader. While it's not perfect, it does hit a lot of the right boxes to make it a worthwhile addition for people who are looking to add 1:200 scale planes for dioramas or tabletop gaming.
