The YB-49 didn't have any pods, all eight engines were buried in the wing. There was a single YRB-49A had one podded engine each side, with  the other six inside the wing, but I don't think there's ever been a kit of it.

Did you mean a B-47?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit

YRB-49A had six engines, 2 in pods, 2 in each wing.

B-47 or B-36 podded pairs would work.

Sorry for the confusion, they are from the Hasegawa B-47E Strato Jet J47-GE-25.
