Ernst Ling I've been working on both levels of the forward crew area, and am now placing Airscale decals in each one of he tiny engineer's panel. It's not for the faint of heart, and will be a long, LONG project

Soeren . Fore a fiberglass and resin kit is the price more than ok.

Btw this kit was already released last year.
19. September 2018, 06:47
Nigel Yes, but the B-56 will be "only" 1.2m wide.

Wilfried Bogaerts What a box under the Xmass tree! I've heard of a €575 price tag (that's without wingfold option
) and limited to 100 units?
4. November 2017, 07:22
Alistair Graham I couldnt believe it when i saw it in the new kits list and saw the scale im sure it would be large is it was 1:144 never mind 1:48
4. November 2017, 09:07
Augie Lol a girl can dream
4. November 2017, 14:13
Burkhard D LOL - collectors' edition comes with "mine is bigger than yours" bonus sticker. I hear HpH Models is planning Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose in 1:24
5. November 2017, 22:17
Augie Yeah, tho its not the size, its the aircraft and the scale, I build mostly in 48 so

Urban Gardini Like it so far n' it's really nice to see the "Holy Grail" bein' built as it's one of those kits that few build due to the sheer size of it.

John Irwing Planning to get it out of storage beginning of March. Thanks for the comments.
19. February 2017, 10:19
Urban Gardini Yes, where to put it when it's built. But there's at least the option of not gluing the wings shut for ease of transport and storage. Looking great so far mate!

Dave Flitton It wasn't called the Magnesium Overcast for nothing
14. November 2016, 18:21
Augie Lol Dave, I might be tempted if they did one.. but I doubt the CAA would like what I'd do! lol
14. November 2016, 18:26
Guus Would make a nice coffee table
14. November 2016, 19:35
Dave Flitton I think someone already built a B-36 flying model complete with turbojets - larger than 1/32 - of course it took a few people to manage all of that hardware
14. November 2016, 20:22
Wilfried Bogaerts It's huge, that's true, but a wing fold set would make it fit on your shelf, go for it Augie !

Vimal Indrasoma Oh, wow. I did a search and nothing came up so I added this - now there's stacks of them! How come?
8. August 2015, 06:17
Glenn . The number was entered with a space 72 003 it was already on the database as 72003 i reported it as double!
8. August 2015, 06:23
Vimal Indrasoma I actually searched for ALL Warbird decals first ... and Warbird actually has a space in there!
8. August 2015, 13:12
Vimal Indrasoma Oh b*****, I had actually searched for Warbirds instead ... my mistake, sorry!

Mathias Carl Die will ich dann aber auch gebaut sehen
Dürfte ein ganz schöner Brummer sein.
19. September 2014, 10:38
Burkhard D Das Teil ist in der Tat riesig. Wenn ich es dann mal baue - das ist durchaus vorgesehen - dann sicher mit abnehmbaren Flügeln. Hat wohl knapp 1m Spannweite. Hab's gerade gebaut bei einem Kollegen gesehen (als Luftwaffe 1946 What-if!)
19. September 2014, 10:46
Mathias Carl nen Meter ist schon mal ne ordentliche Hausnummer.
Fällt dann aber auf jeden Fall, das Modell.
19. September 2014, 18:53
Edgars Bizūns Ja ja, only thing I understood is that will be as a Luftwaffe What-if?
6. February 2015, 23:58
Burkhard D No way. I've sen that, it's nifty. But I like NMF with Stars'n'Bars
7. February 2015, 09:03
Soeren . Die will ich definitv auch gebaut bei dir sehen Burkhard
Meine wird vermutlich noch einige Zeit im Karton ruhen

Holger Kranich Hi Colleux!
When you click on the item and scroll down, you can see who has it in his stash. Maybe you just ask them? There is, f.e., a nice guy called Urban Gardini. I would ask him!
Greetz, Holger

Bill Gilman I built this one about 25 years ago. What a monster! Luckily the B-36 is not NMF, but painted high-speed silver. Made the job a lot easier! I built it on commission for a hobby shop owner, who hung it from the ceiling in his shop. It didn't survive a rapid loss of altitude that happened one day when the wire snapped!
2. February 2012, 22:17
Tigers! Tigers! nice one bill, she sure is big!. doing her in nmf would be a task and a half but even hss is no easy feat, i did shy away from these untill the advent of ali-clad which in mho is the best thing since sliced bread, have you used it at all? BTW hope he had shop insurance for falling bomb ..... ers LOL
3. February 2012, 07:36
Bill Gilman I've just started using Alclad. Have a look at the Lightning project in my photo albums. This is my first job with Alclad - I love the stuff! And no, the shopkeeper didn't have falling bomber insurance..LOL. He closed up the shop about 5 years after I built the B-36 for him.
3. February 2012, 16:07
Tigers! Tigers! nice job on the lightning bill, did you use the black under coat on that one? i have found differing undercoats give slightly differing shade finishes and is useful as alclad is not cheap.

15. December 2011, 13:36
Guido Haesevoets why not put an image up of the box next to the house, so we make the comparison...
15. December 2011, 13:38
Holger Kranich Good idea Ecurie!
Urban, maybe you can make a garage from the box and rent it to tourists!
