gunpowder Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 This is the original release of the kit from the 80s. I love the artwork on the old Monogram boxes. This model came from the Southern expo years ago. I wanted the original issue for the SAC decals and the jet pods. Its been in this state for a while so i think i may kick start it again. First thing it needs is a good wash. Theres a few years of dust on this one. Hopefully i can get some primer on it before the rain comes later in the week. For those who dont know the size of the B-36 , here it is next to a 1/72 Nimrod. For the finish i think im going to go with Halford Alluminium with the White undersides.

caudleryan Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Have you tried rescribing one, yet? RYAN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunpowder Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 Thanks chaps.Rescribe one? are you insane??!! lol. luckily the weather is good today so i have managed to prime the Peacemaker. All of my joints are rubbed down well but the wing to fuselage needs attention. There is quite a big step on one side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TaiidanTomcat Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 All things considered, not bad at all! Yeah some little fixes but I heard this kit can be mush worse! Really neat to see one of these being built! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caudleryan Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Rescribe one? are you insane??!! lol. Must be. Sorry to hijack your thread. Keep it up with the Peacemaker. We don't see too many of these around. RYAN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott R Wilson Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Nice look at an old topic! Anyone else on the list actually been inside a B-36? I was in the USAFM's bird in 1978! When I was a kid in the early 1960s, my dad was stationed in Ft Worth at Carswell AFB. There was a B-36J on display at Greater Southwest Airport (now closed). They let people go inside it. I still remember looking through the cockpit windows, and seeing the tunnel with the little cart that traversed the bomb bay. That airplane is now at the Pima Museum next to Davis-Monthan AFB. I found these photos on the web awhile back of some other family visiting the B-36 at Greater Southwest, you can see the stairs going up inside the nose wheel well. This is exactly as how I remember seeing it, I think these photos must have been taken around the same time: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nightiemission Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Nice look at an old topic! Anyone else on the list actually been inside a B-36? I was in the USAFM's bird in 1978! I got inside the one at the Castle Air Museum. It's pretty much a gutted shell. Access is only to the forward compartments. Cheers, Terry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
