A better career for the B-32 Dominator?

[jcf]

The first enlarged tail tested on the B-32 was a B-29 tail, this was followed by a Consolidated
redesign that added even more height. The first two production aircraft used a B-29 tail until
the taller Consolidated design was available.

I like the idea of a Navy patrol bomber.

Did Anigrand do a resin kit ? Memory says yes, but I need to check

Yup!

The Xotic one is multi-media, all the big bits are injection with some white metal detail parts and a few vacuformed bits.

Cheers Jon, glad my memory banks were working 

Given the thickness of resin you normally get on Anigrand kits it probably weighs a tonne and might need the Xotic white metal undercart

Seems we could use an injection molded kit for this aircraft.  Scalemates lists the resin anigrand versions and several vacuform kits.

You could probably bash one out in 350 scale. Still be big !

Someone already did it, but in 1/48 scale

Bill of materials includes two 1/48 Superforts, two 1/48 Libs, one 1/72 B-36 and a whole lot of scratchbuilding. Bashing it in 1/72 runs into the problem of not having a 1/108 B-36 available for the tail end (unless one makes do with B-29 tail, or even Privateer tail).

What scale was the 'fit the box' Revell B-36 from the mid 50s? That may be around the right size.

Scalemates claims it's 1/184, so even Hobbycraft's 1/144 offering would be closer in scale, yet too small for the purpose (if going the quoted article's route). But claiming it's a B-32B, one could probably get away with B-29 rear fuselage and either scratchbuilt or Privateer tail

Big Book says the same
