busnproplinerfan Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Nice work, want one of these but they pricey. Still amazed at how these can fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t15dja Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Fantastic model...well done! Got this and the YB-49 jet version in the stash....yours has inspired me to get one of them down off the shelf ASAP! I can't quite tell from the photos.....did you open up the air intakes?

Bertie McBoatface Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 It certainly looks impressive. Retro and futuristic at the same time. Well done! I’d like to see it close up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat101 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Nice XB-35! AMT sometimes gets a bad rap but it looks like a nice kit. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Bird Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Good old Jack Northrop. We could always rely on him to get rid of the box, not just think outside of it. Nice job! Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your comment. The intakes were molded into the front leading wing strip and I just painted them in. A bit tricky to handle with the 28 inch wingspan.

billn53 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Very nice! I know from experience that these can be tricky builds, especially where the outer wing sections meet the central piece. Looks l8ke you have done a fine job there! The refueling probe is a nice addition, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maginot Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Nice work modelling a most interesting airplane. Like Bertie, I'd like to see a closeup especially of the cockpit area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head in the clouds. Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Excellent. I love a prototype or test airframe and I cover British subjects only as there are over 140 or more of these alone so I like seeing modellers like yourself doing other countries subjects because realistically I will not even finish my British builds let alone any American planes, of which there are many. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Alan Bardell Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Wow! nice build. I have one of these in the loft, not sure if I have the skill to do it justice (as you have done) or the room to display it once built. Great work.

Thanks. It has a 28 and 1/2 inch wingspan and has consumed a lot of shelf space. Keep on building. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
