ICM US Aerial Target Drones 1:48 HC-ICM48399

ICM US Aerial Target Drones (two drones and two trailers), part number HC-ICM48399, is a 1:48 scale plastic aircraft model kit depicting the KDA-1 and BQM-34A target drones. The kit represents two types of unmanned jet-powered aircraft developed for military training, with each drone accompanied by a transport trolley.

The KDA-1 was operated by the US military fleet, while the BQM-34A developed from the second-generation Firebee design and featured an enlarged fuselage, longer wings and an intake beneath its pointed nose. These aerial targets were used to train anti-aircraft defence crews, giving the kit a historical focus on post-war US military aviation.

The models can be assembled positioned on their airfield transport trolleys or suspended beneath the wings of suitable aircraft. Suggested compatibility includes 1:48 scale models of the DB-26B/C and JD-1D Invader, as well as other drone carrier aircraft. Decals provide different marking options for finishing the completed models.
