AMT/ERTL 1/72 Northrop YB-49


Recommended Posts

A fairly quick build of a simple kit. It has pretty decent fit for a kit of its age. The only real issue was getting enough weight in the nose(?)
Astonishing to think this aircraft first flew in 1947 and has almost exactly the same wingspan as the B-2.

Thanks folks. I used Vallejo Aluminium and Vallejo Steel. It was actually a major pain as the airbrush kept clogging , especially the steel colour. The black walkway line were masked and painted as well.  It's an odd model to store as it's very wide but not very long.
