Was it Revell Germany? Came out a few years back, 6 or so engines? Am sending the wife out with my list soon. I was going to ask for the old Hasegawa 1/72 B-47 or Emily but the reviews were less than favorable....but I may add the Emily back on anyways....
thx - Craig
I'd forgotten that one; and I had the model once! :-[ They made the He-111Z to tow it also.
Pat
Italeri made a Me 323 which had 6 or 8 engines.
Both were designed in the mid-'60s and are still the only way you'll get one unless you want to go down to 1/144th.

the has b47 is decent. screw the reviews, it looks like a b47 and isn't super fiddly.

I have a b47, unfinished. the dang thing lists like crazy. did not find a review when I bought it years ago. the review said it was a boring plane, but I disagree. just dang hard to make it level...
Craig
Could you shorten the main gear struts up, forcing it to rest on them and the outrigger gear?
Pat
I guess I could saw them off to make the gear touch properly, but its probably moot by now. I stored away all the loose parts, etc in that special place all us modelers have so we will never lose track of them when we want to finish a kit. Well damned if I know where the canopy and decals are...
Craig
if you're talking wings and alignment, i used a spar and it was a snap. i used a chopstick that i evened up and put flat spots where it needed contact
2 part epoxy and clamps made that puppy lick my hand.
oh, that level. i had the plane upside down and used a piece of cardboard and a ruler on the almost dried parts. tube glue let it dry slowly enough.
when i get some clear sheet, i could vac you a canopy. i also thought squadron made one, but my memory is....i forgot.
Towed glider was an Me.321, the engined version was the 323.
don't forget the ju 290 and 390.
