The main sheet is off to print - there may still be time to add something on the stencilling sheet depending on the colors. Is there anything you want to be added?

Dutch Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) Can you give a sneak peek of some of the profiles so we can get an idea of which markings are included? Edited August 28, 2021 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted September 21, 2021 Author Share Posted September 21, 2021 Just sent out the remaining insert to print - the wait is almost over! I will try to post profiles this weekend. This sheet should be available in early November. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do tell - sounds intriguing. I am sometimes tempted to start a limited run "parallel brand" for crazy what-if decals : perhaps one or two subjects a year, just as a creative outlet.

Spruemeister Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) In my best Rod Serling voice…. ”Image, if you will, the B-36. Retired in ‘59. Regenerated and impressed back into emergency service for Vietnam as a stop gap bomb truck allowing the B-52s to remain on alert back at the Cold War. SAC bomber camo on top, gloss black underside And sporting two more jet pods in the gaps between #1 & #2 and #5 & #6. For an outlandish total of 14 engines. The stuff of nightmares. B-52 style wing root pylons are out because of the main gear bays, but smaller ones could angle forward of the gear and add more Mk117s to the chaos. Slow but earnest, and willfully destructive, the B-36K(H) would churn the Ho Chi Min trail into an impassable labyrinth of craters and death.” Thats when I woke up, so I’m not sure how things ended. I’ll need custom nose art for: Mortem a Vibratione. (death from vibration) Rick L. Edited September 22, 2021 by Spruemeister Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gator52 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Looks sharp, I’d like to build a 1/144 YB-60 and XC-99 someday. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spruemeister Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Anigrand has the YB-60 and they made some announcement last year of doing the XC-99. A C-99 in MATS livery with Arctic Red panels would be sweet. Rick L. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) This one is coming in late November - it was a lot of work, but I think you will be happy with the end result. You are seeing the main color page - there are two other all-black sheets (not shown) with serial numbers, triangle/circle/square unit tail codes, other black markings etc. including a full set of digits so you can build almost any B-36. 20 options, all bomber and reconnaissance wings that have flown the type are represented; including XB-36H markings if you wish to build this one-off version with 3D printed parts available elsewhere.

wbs52 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Can't wait for this one! Options for 20, how many can be built per set? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gator52 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Looks fantastic, thank you for doing these! I plan to start with B-36H 51-5734 from the movie, and work my way through the other Carswell options from there. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drifterdon Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Unless my eyes deceive me, do I see markings for 5734 from the movie Strategic Air Command with Jimmy Stewart? Looks like the definitive B-36 sheet. Superb sir! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 I'm glad you liked it - the 4925th Test Group markings are somewhat plain but interesting. And yes, 51-5734 from "Strategic Air Command" is one of the options covered on the sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie D. Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Looks great! Definitely want one of these! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
