David Newman Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) Hello, I have finished the YRB-49A conversion for the AMT YB-49. It makes for a large model, with a wingspan of about two and a half feet. If you search in Work in Progress - Aircraft for Muroc, you can see some build pictures. The resin conversion (with decals and vacuformed clear parts) is available for $59 plus postage. Production might be slow. You can contact me at newmanispwest at yahoo dot com. As with many projects by Muroc Models, this started as a part of a display for the Museum at Edwards AFB. It will be placed on the "First Flights Wall", which is a 1/72 collection intended to include everything which made its first flight at Edwards. These are all built with blue painted canopies and gear up. One of the pictures shows it sitting in front of the the Museum's F-106.

thomasweir Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 That looks rather grand. Not too sure about the blue canopy but if it's the museum's request, who am I to argue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Nice build David. And excellent news that you have dropped into Britmodeller - Is there any list of available Muroc Model kits and conversions? René 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Newman Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Hello, Here is the list of kits by Muroc Models. I try to keep most in stock, but some will be out of stock until I get a change to cast more. I have an odd business model, I try my best to keep my kits secret. This way, I spend less time casting and more time on new projects. I am working on 1/144 C-87.

stevehnz Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 For anyone not familiar with David's stuff, as I wasn't up till a year or three ago, I've bought the F-8C conversion from him to use with some Microscale decals to do the flame breathing VF-84 bird. I was impressed with the fineness of the casting & usefulness of the instructions. It is getting closer to the top of the heap David.

Madoc Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Steve, I'll happily second all those points! About four or so years ago I discovered that David was still making kits and went on a tear through his catalog. The detail and quality of his castings is excellent. His inclusion of the decals is a real plus. I've not been disappointed with any of his items and am muchly looking forward to this YRB-49 conversion kit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madoc Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I just got my copy of this in the mail - and it's great! The execution of the casting is flawless. The finish is excellent, the detail of the pieces is superb. The instructions - a key thing when creating the recon version of the YB-49 requires no small amount of surgery on the bomber kit - are detailed, clearly presented, well executed, and extensive. There's also the excellent decal sheet that includes all the necessary markings and then some! I'm very happy with my purchase! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps someone in this discussion thread might know. David Newman seems to have posted here a bit. Perhaps you should ask him. Maybe he knows...
