mhaselden Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I'll add my vote to Dave's for a future RB45 variant...with RAF Sculthorpe markings, please. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhaselden Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 If nothing else, this Valom kit will give us mere mortals a chance at having a B-45 in our collection without having to wrestle the old Mach2 kit into submission. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 A very welcome announcement ! The B-45 is one of those few subjects that have only really appeared in old box-scale kits, vacforms or short runs. Will fill a hole in the collection of postwar bomber enthusiasts 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavingav1 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Valom and lots of clear parts dont mix well, hope we dont get another hampden fiasco with the canopies, waited a long time for a buildable kit of one of these . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedbird Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Yeah, but that shouldn't be too hard to do, better still someone might do a resin conversion.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I still have a spare RB nose from my MACH 2 build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Esposito Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Great news! However as the previous poster said...clear parts and Valom don't mix.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general melchett Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Quote clear parts and Valom don't mix.. Actually things have improved a lot recently...the new Harrow glazing is a big improvement over earlier kits. Agree a decent B-45 is long overdue and very welcome. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 As exciting as a new tool B-45 is can we please keep the section to one thread per model. Julien (happy to see this coming out). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was in there, but there was also stock footage of a B (or RB-45) which the narrator announced they used to communicate with other governments once regular communications had broken down.
