Models of UAVs are few and far between. The number of options in 1/48 scale can just about be counted on one hand.

Muroc Models just produced a very nice conversion set to make the six-engine YRB-49A Flying Wing from the old AMT 1/72 YB-49 kit. This has been the missing Wing in my collection for many years.

Many thanks to David Newman at Muroc Models for producing such a nice set that's long overdue.
