Learstang Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Yes, sports fans, you read that right, HPH are supposedly coming out with a 1/48th scale B-36. Let that sink in for a moment. A. 1/48th scale. B. 36. A 1/48TH SCALE B-36! Here's the link to show that I haven't been drinking what I soak my airbrush in - http://www.hphmodels.cz/hph/?lang=en Best Regards, Jason 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 It's been a while coming but there's a lot of detail in the Rumourmonger thread: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Does it come with Planning Permission from the local council?! Trevor 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoenixII Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Here ya go Jason, Telford 2017. Trevor, you don't need it mate, if she's on her undercarriage she's under the 4Mtr. requirement, just!! Paul 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPuente54 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) And, I thought the Monogram 1/72nd B-36 was big! Can we finally get a 1/72nd C-5 Galaxy? How about the An-124(126/226)(not sure if this is the correct designation for the big Russian one)? Yes, in The One true Scale(the Russian a/c).

Learstang Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 The An-124 is available from Modelsvit in God's True Scale (1/72nd scale to you heathens). I would not be surprised if they come out with the An-225 Mriya also. Paul, thank you for the photograph of that beast - now that is what I call a model! I can get buried in the box it comes in. Now all I have to do is sell my car so I can buy this kit. Best Regards, Jason 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 i think I can confidently say that wouldn't fit in my spray booth. Which is just as well, since I hate to think how many jars of alclad it would need and how much that would cost! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 I think you'd need an industrial airgun for that one. Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Riot Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 That's amazing. I used to have a 1/72 one and that was huge! I wish someone would bring out a 1/48th Vulcan, Victor and Shackleton. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Russell Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Can I be the first to whinge that it's not in 1/32 scale? Or 1/18. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 That is actually one of my insane dreams, to one day have a 1/32nd scale B-36. With the (re)-appearance of this monster, maybe it's not so insane. Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that men of your caliber could split a 1:1 scale down the middle, one wing each, and your respective neighbourhoods have their own awning! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
