Assembled model 1/48 DB-26B/C aircraft with Q-2A Firebee drones ICM 48286

DB-26B/C with Q-2 drones Several aircraft of the Invader family have been converted into drone carriers. Absolutely all weapons were removed from the planes, and unmanned target planes were suspended on pylons under the wing. Such machines were used in the training of fighter pilots, and drones imitating real air targets acted as targets. After completing the mission, the drones landed on a parachute and were reused in the future. The Air Force, Army and Navy all had their own drones, although often using the same model with minor modifications.
