fightersweep Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Impressive! But I'm holding out for their 1/24 Spruce Goose. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 so soon it is Vacform against fibreglass! hope to see many BUFFs built soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazyeagle Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I think this laminate fibreglass version will win out over that vacuform offering in regards to accuracy. Would have liked to have seen a D tall tail version but this H is the modern take and given the DACO book I can see why they went with this one. Would look good next to a Revell 1/48 B-1B, all you need is a B-2 in 1/48 for a complete Edwards AFB lineup. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flarpen Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Well The B-52 is smaller than the B-36 (at least in wing span) so this would be easier to find room to display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TobHol Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 But where is my Sukhoi T-4 in 1/48? I’m still waiting for it after the Concorde and XB-70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Story of my life... although to be fair the potential price of this release shouldn't affect Sanger's sales too much... plus building the Sanger kit will be much more fun! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJL Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I'm still curious as to why a 1/48 injection kit was never released…I mean they did a B-36 and B-1 in that scale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if we'll get any big Russian stuff in 1/48th from HpH and if we do I can see lots of kits going up for sale to purchase it/them!

DaveJL Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Sorry, that's what I meant I'd very much enjoy a range of injection 1/48 bombers, however doubt they'll arrive other than Vac or Resin/fibreglass! I plan to order a few 1/72 Modelcollect B-52s when they are released (then maybe a Trumpy Tu-160 and 95!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
