11bee Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Just laid eyes on one for the first time when I was down near Barksdale, AFB. Truly a beautiful bird. Would love to see it in 48th (preferably the RB version). It's a true icon of the cold war, think we'll ever get one in 48th? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChippyWho Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 If I know anything about this game, it is 'Never say never'. There is a shedload of stuff around now that I wouldn't have dreamed of being kitted when I got (back) into modelling as a 'Mature Student' 12 years ago. But personally, I'd be really happy with a new 1/72 Strat tool! For me, the only bomber EVER that can be described as beautiful -or, as someone put it on another forum, "...a Corvette among Kenworths"! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I'm going to go out on a limb and say, yes, we will see a 1/48 B-47. Maybe within the next five years. The manufacturers are slowly running out of subject matter. LINK Steven Brown Scale Model Soup Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bobo1953 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 i was about to answer that if you figure out the monogram 1/72 b-52 in 1/48 it makes a big model, quite a BIG model; and the b-47 is smaller, but not THAT smaller than a b-52. now, it's true that the large scale models are very fashionable these days, but, wow, one must live in a hangar to display such a huge plane. i dunno if the manufacturers can afford to offer what should be par force such a limited sale kit... ...then i fell on the link to sanger posted by homebe...and my mouth dropped open...wow...what a beauty!... in any case, this one is obviously indeed intended for a limited, really amateur market, starting from the vac-u-form medium which isn't every even expert modeler's daily bread. otherwise 45 gbp would be a very cheap price for such a kit if it came, injected, from hasegawa/tamiya/italeri/monogram and such...hmmmhhh: inviting...

F4DPhantomII Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I'd love to see one in 1/48 or a new tool 1/72. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
