Utilizing the WWII A-26 airframe, the On Mark company of Van Nuys, California began converting Invaders to executive transports following WWII with their first examples designated the Marketeer. The epitome of comfort for the executive air traveler was found however in the further developed Marksman. The Marksman featured a significantly re-manufactured fuselage incorporating full pressurization and a radical modification allowing a substantial increase in internal cabin space. All Marksmen featured the addition of wing tip fuel tanks as well as increased tail surface dimensions to compensate for the higher power engines offered in various models. Out of approximately sixty Invader airframes modified for civilian use by On Mark, only about a dozen were full Marksman conversions. For all effects, gauges, and the excellent A-26 sound package by David Copley, the original SOH A-26 Invader is required to be installed before installation of this aircraft. Included in this package: model by Milton Shupe with Marksman modifications by John Terrell, textures by John Terrell, 2D panel and gauges by Rich Murray, flight dynamics by Jerry Beckwith and Tom Falley, pilot figures by Jan Visser.
