madcow Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Makes me think if I can tackle a vacform kit... Never tried one before, but a 1/48th B-52... Ohhh yeahh!!! Ricardo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Av8fan Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I hope you do build one Darius. I think anyone who has seen your B-47 build would agree. Darius B-47 One of the things that is way beyond me is the cockpits though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

caudleryan Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 And I mean that in the best way RYAN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spruemeister Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 46" wingspan leaves me out. I'm going to have a hard time finding room for a 1/72 scale kit. If anybody can do it though, its you Darius. The B-47 and the C-133 were proof enough. Rick L. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Two Mikes Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Darius if you get one please start a build thread right away. I cannot say how amazed I am with your taming of large vacs. Great builds that truly do the manufacturers work justice. Cheers Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gator52 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) Hmmm...that H would look cool sitting next to the 1/48 Bone in the stash...and being a Texan, I've always thought Carswell's fin flash with the longhorn looked pretty snappy...

richter111 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I can forsee that being a one of a kind. I was reading, resin bits galore, metal, rubber. SOunds like it could actually make a good first vac kit for the newbie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DDC Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Wow, that'll be a build to watch out for! Darius, have you built many of the Sanger kits? Do you know if they're all of the same 'quality' as the B-47? Their website is a bit hit and miss in regards to what's in the box/bag, and some of their other products are MIGHTY tempting! Cheers and good luck, Denzil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmanrick Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 A 48th BUFF is just the ticket! I can tell you though that at 46 inches, it literally would take up half my living room. But, since I have flown low level both in a D & H model, I almost have to have one. There is nothing quite like flying at 500 feet in a monster of an airplane, even if it was only from the jumpseat.

denstore Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I will buy it, even if I probably never will build it. I only wish there was a 1/48 Tu-95 in development as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedHeadKevin Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) Or a 1/48 B-2. Probably a good candidate for a vac-form kit with the big wing halves. Not only that, but it might be short enough (front-to-back) that it would be good on a shelf. Edited April 7, 2010 by RedHeadKevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

richter111 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Imagine that bird with a X-15 slung up under the wings... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yardbird78 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 OMG ! ! ! ! ! ! ! That would be one monster of a kit! I would definately like to have one, but that price tag would be hard to fit in the budget. How much can I get if I mortgage my cat and the neighbor's two dogs?????

Paul Mullins Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Yep, This is gonna be a "must have" kit. Even if I never build it. Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richter111 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Although, I suspect Yardbird will have the kit in his stash one way or another! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chappie Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Looks like work is slowly continuing on this kit. I've got a Special Hobby X-15 waiting in the stash to hang under this monster. Darius- Have not "talked" in a while. I've gotten away from modeling a bit and doing more warbird writing and photography. I've been slowly donating and selling a good part of my kit and decals stash. How've you been?! Cheers, Chappie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chappie Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Still got that X-15 kit waiting. When? When? Chappie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wh1skea Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I'm eagerly waiting for its release. I'm gonna have a hard time finding a place to put two of them though :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) Darius, I have learned it's always a treat to see your truly outstanding work. I just browsed the B-47 build and will follow the B-52 when you do that monster! Would you do Balls-3 or Balls-8 with the X-15 or will you do a different aircraft? I have decals for Balls-3, the Minicraft (nee Crown) 1/44 B-52, and am awaiting resin bits to convert the H to an A. The X-15 is built and waiting for it's mother :) Edited September 4, 2012 by David N Lombard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
