The RQ-7B Shadow is the U.S. Army's primary tactical unmanned aerial vehicle — a battlefield reconnaissance and surveillance platform that has logged hundreds of thousands of flight hours in Iraq, Afghanistan, and beyond, providing real-time intelligence and target acquisition for ground forces. It's one of the most operationally significant aircraft of the modern era, and Academy's 1/35 kit is one of the very few plastic model kits of a contemporary military drone available anywhere. The set includes ground support equipment and launcher components, letting you build out a complete operational scene.
