Beautiful!  :thumbsup:
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

Nice job!  :thumbsup:

You might imagine an advanced version with B-52 upgrade-style mods such as EO turrets, ECM fairings and the like.

Sounds like a cool idea. I might just have to try the 20mm tail gun. I might change the shape of the fins a little to look a bit more modern. Call it an ECM refit. Plus other kinds of sneaky Pete lumps and bumps nobody knows anything about.
I heard that when the B-52 was flying low level missions the wing span was so long it had to pull up to turn. It looks like this bird might have the same problem.

Love it Tom 😀 😍
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Just for fun I searched the web for a flying wing kit. Typical price was about $50 with some over $100! This won't happen unless one falls my way.

Lovely birds, very cool, even got to nuke invading aliens.

Thank you for your production!   :wub:
In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

Quote from: PR19_Kit on October 15, 2024, 07:21:23 AMAn XB-49/XB-35 takes up a LOT of space in 1/72, even though they don't have fuselages!

I can confirm this - and despite having no fuselage it still has enough depth from the nose to the back of the wing tip to make finding a shelf difficult

Yeah, they're VERY large! I have two B-25s and a B-49, and they cover ACRES of shelf space!
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! :)

It looks great! I remember the long, long threads on rec.model.scale coming up with fun alternate histories for the plane.
