Recently announced on Sprue Brothers

The size is impressive!

And the detail shots look great.

But, would you have room for it?

Ooooooh baby! Slodder is right --make the room! It probably takes up less area than the 1/72 B-36 or B-52?

hang it from the ceiling if I have to. Or do one of my walls up as an airstrip and bolt the plane on.

I can testify to the immense size of the 1/72 Convair B-36 model- Its enormous!
I built up one of those kits a year back with nowhere to place it!

As per Elmer Fudd, warry warry tempting! But my wife may move me to the garage, oh well, I need the space.

I will be getting one, along with their B-25. I will build them as "Yankee Lady" and "Yankee Warrior", respectively, and donate them to the Yankee Air Museum, whenever they re-open. Kind of a "give back" for my FREE rides on both planes!
