I have to agree in that I have been waiting a long time for a B-10 (it would need to be in 1/48 scale). Given that it had active service and served with a number of countries you think there would be some appeal. Just having yellow wings is enough for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalea Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Given that the Williams Brothers 1/72 Martin B-10 was first released in 1974 and last released in 2013 most manufacturers would feel that that market is pretty well saturated. Granted its not 1/48. I would personally prefer a Martin 166 rather a B-10. However, the B-18B is delightful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoZG Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 There are still some versions of Bolo to cover, so B version is very welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WB kit is 45 years old...the 2013 re-release just for the decals perhaps ! ypu are alright , all the family is better, sure ! Martin Type 139/166/B-10/B-12...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I have the Digby boxing and the Radar nose was in it. Looks like they were planning on this variant all along ? All they added was the MAD boom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Star Models produced a resin 1/48 B-10 kit. They will be releasing an improved version soon, I am told...
