Wait till someone thinks of a 1/24 Lancaster. You'd need to empty the garage for that!  :rolleyes:

My brain hurts!  :lol:

I wouldn't be surprised if someone in the US, probably Nova or Execuform, has already done a 1/48 B-36....

There's not a lot difference between a B-36 and B-52 in size and there is/was 1/48 B-52 kit, Monogram IIRC.

I remember seeing a guy carrying the box out of SMW in 2006.  He was struggling!

Got it wrong, ID Models made a 1/48 B-52 and a 1/48 XB-70  :o   Monogram/Revell did a 1/48 B-1.

kitnut, i can acknowlage the 1:48 B1 got one in the stash to make up at some point, got to work out how to reinforce the thing, so that i can mount it for air support in 28mm gaming. im thinking of using a music stand as the base.
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances. 
wow, its like freefalling into the Geofront

Tantalising glimpse of the box art for the new 1/72 Airfix Hurricane at http://www.airfix.com/airfix-products/aircraft/military-aircraft/ - it's also a Sea Hurricane and there doesn't seem to be any more about it on the Airfix website!   ;D ;D

Hurricane artwork at http://www.airfix.com/airfix-products/classic-kits/aircraft/a02096-hawker-hurricane-mkiic-a02096/gallery/.  And yes, the Academy Helldiver is by far the best of the bunch but doesn't the new artwork for the old Airfix Helldiver (http://www.airfix.com/airfix-products/classic-kits/aircraft/a02031-curtiss-sb2c-helldiver-a02031/gallery/) say 'buy me! buy me!'?   ;D ;D

Man, if they ever run out of plastic, Airfix can make a living as an aviation art company: ALL their new artwork is excellent!  :wub:

All thier original artwork was done by Roy Cross.. His art work was one of the highlights of the old Airfix kit. There are a couple of books out there about Roy Corss' artwork. I am edevouring to obtain one.

There at least three that are currently in print, the two aviation volumes (both endorsed by Airfix) & a ship volume.  All avaialble on Amazon too.
