What kind of wood doesn't float?

If you run into problems with the 1/72 B-29 you can try using the Academy C-97 kits, here's one that I have already started ages ago.


Or something like this:

Came across this on pintrest: https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpin.it%2F3Ap2ujJ&data=05%7C01%7C%7Ce22f5c95fe9f4f69a7c708db1e356591%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638136986901282563%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=3pRe4%2B1W60ATKJx17dnQvJNiknt1GXVZN0WJAnYybBA%3D&reserved=0
and immediately thought of a user for the SR/A1

Now one of these - https://modelingmadness.com/scott/korean/preview/revell/h170.htm - (at a sensible price, of course) could be good fodder for this GB.  Lots of scale-o-rama and re-engining scope, I'd say.

I'm surprised that no one has started building one for this GB.

Well at nigh on £100 a pop on eBay right now I'm not in the least bit surprised!

That's bloody near $270nz...umm yeah ..nope ..I don't think so.

[McColm]

Could get a cheaper model and modify it.

I am afraid that the Revell 1/104 Neptune never had a "modern" reissue,while many others contemporary or older kits did.
But there are 1/72 Neptunes, I think. Didn't Hasegawa do one?

As an aside,if you want a REALLY rare issue of the Revell Neptune, try finding the Heller badged one...

Yes, and FROG did a re-pop of it. Maybe Revell re-popped it in turn?

[Wardukw]

I've always liked the Neptune..it's twin engined for starters but I don't ever remember seeing it as a model here..or anywhere for that matter.
I might hunt down a B-25 and kit bash one ..they've got similar lines .
