Revell-ogram's 1/72 B-36 done in olive drab/grey as if WWII ETO. With Jimmy Stewart's a/c's markings. Way cool! Much better job than my SIOP over gloss black for the Vietnam War.

My only criticism would be that it wouldn't have the outboard jets in '46, yet. Otherwise, excellent build dudes!!!! Love the look of the flashbombs painted dark green. I used plastruct I-beams and made racks for Mk.117 750#'ers and loaded up my SEA B-36.

Interesting. In addition to scratching the turbojets, I would suggest the XB-36's flush cockpit glass, similar to the B-29. But that is a seriously cool concept.

That and the fact that the earliest B-36s had those monster wheeled landing gear.... But this model has serious potential for a good Luft '46 project.

That is pretty cool, tho I don't know it's worth his price. IIRC, only the prototype B-36 had the huge single wheels.
