AMT YB-49 converted to YRB-49A

[David Newman]

Hello, 

 

I have been working on converting the 1/72 8-engined YB-49 to a six-engined YRB-49A.  This will be part of the "First Flights Wall" at the Edwards AFB museum.  The pictures show the resin conversion being installed.  The Muroc Models conversion is almost ready for release.

That's a bit of a beast!

Excellent, the YRB is my favourite of the Northrop wings.

 

Probably better posting this under the Rumormonger part of the forum, so that members can see that there is a new product being released

Hello,

 

Thank you crossofiron1971 and 71chally.  I will move this to Rumormonger when I post the finished kit.

Good luck with this David. It is sure to look fantastic.

Yes, it is a bit strange Tony, especially as the YRB effectively ruined the pureness of the original concept.
