Dereknf Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Latest effort. The Italeri boxing of the Northrop YB-35. I've previously built the YB-49 so I knew what to expect. Overall the kit is OK and the decals are excellent. Finished in Vallejo steel and gunmetal. 20220927_085338 by Derek N.Ferguson, on Flickr 20220927_085353 by Derek N.Ferguson, on Flickr 20220927_085414 by Derek N.Ferguson, on Flickr 20220927_085419 by Derek N.Ferguson, on Flickr 20220927_085425(1) by Derek N.Ferguson, on Flickr 60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Klaatu Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 That's really nice! Looks great! I have the AMT boxing of both the jet and prop, I have just GOT to get around to building them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billn53 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Nicely done! Having built this kit, I know it has some challenges. You've handled them well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oortiz10 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I'd love to get both the jet and prop boxings of those flying wings. Your build stokes that ember in me. Looks great! Super nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil5208 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Excellent result. I'm building the YB49 in the Prototype GB ATM and would love to get a similar finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Beautiful job on that model! Looking at it, I just can't believe the USAF didn't go with it. It looks like a perfectly normal aeroplane to me. Not at all unusual... Regards, Jason 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toryu Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Great model! What a moster. This eye-catcher for sure requires a lot of shelf space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also had stability problems, making it an iffy bombing platform. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navy Bird Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 What's not to like about a Northrop flying wing? Beautiful job! 👍 Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dereknf Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 Thanks for the kind words folks. Much appreciated. Here's a couple of photos of the YB-35 and the YB-49 that I built a year or two ago. 20220930_114352 by Derek N.Ferguson, on Flickr 20220930_114250 by Derek N.Ferguson, on Flickr 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Riot Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Those are amazing, and so beautifully painted. Fascinating looking aircraft, well ahead of their time. You just need a B-2 to go with them now, would be an interesting comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
