Homebee Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) Source: https://www.facebook.com/hphmodels My guess: a re-edition from the HpH 1/48th Convair B-36 Peacemaker kit... V.P. Edited September 29, 2015 by Homebee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 1:48 XB-70 - not sure if it was ever regarded as ultimate weapon but it would fit nicely on the shelf next to HpH Concorde... Do I get one for free if I guessed correctly??? Rene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastien Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 1/48th Death Star! Yay! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Hmnnn. Aircraft Non European Ultimate Weapon Kind of points either towards USA or USSR USA B-52 or B47? Possibly a Valkerie I suppose or a B-2? USSR Bear, Blinder, Badger etc Possibly even the Mig Fruitlova Batski thought to be a reverse engineered copy of a well known Fairy design?

davepb Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Last time I looked, Russia was in Europe, at least as far as the Ural Mountains, so that must rule USSR out of the running. Could it be Canada and an Arrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) Still my guess: 1/48th B-36H Peacemaker. "Bomber, not European, ultimate weapon (nuke) & ultimate kit (giant size)" Don't forget this giant bomber was proposed in the HpH catalogue some years ago. Imagine (remember) the price...

Could it be Canada and an Arrow? I did think that too at first but not sure the present Russian Leadership agree!! So on that basis plus the USSR went all the way almost to Alaska I used some poetic licence. I tend to suspect the Peacemaker too. Wing span in 1/48?

Homebee Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) I tend to suspect the Peacemaker too. Wing span in 1/48? The wingspan from the Peacemaker in 1/48th is about 140cm. http://aeroscale.co.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=SquawkBox&file=index&req=viewtopic&topic_id=217219&page=1 V.P.

Aeronut Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 The sky in the picture is (aloominum) Overcast. And 140cm equates to 220 ish feet wingspan. On that basis I'd go with the B36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Good one... in 1:48? Fuselage like a drainpipe! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Thought about Aluminum Overcast as well - but the thunderstorm picture is not really overcast. Still "Peacemaker" has an ultimate sound to it. Rene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homebee Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Two-men crew. So definitely not a B-36! But 1/48th! Source: http://www.hphmodels.cz/index.php/en/news/item/347-future-release V.P. Edited July 2, 2015 by Homebee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 2??? Hmmm - the XB-70 only flew with two... Though the B-70 would have a crew of four. I keep clinging to the XB-70 till they announce what it really is So a B-2 is maybe more likely in this regards. I somehow expected it to be 1:48... C'mon HpH announce something like "only two build" or "Mach 3" or "six engines"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
