Who makes a B-32 Dominator kit?
Posted by philo426 on Wednesday, January 20, 2016 9:00 AM

I am reading "Last To Die"which is about the last american airman to die over Japan after the surrender agreement but bbefore the official surrender on board The Missouri.The B-32 Dominator looms large in the tail and while the bomber was very fast it was plauged with frequent mechanical issues and was withdrawn from service very quickly.Who makes a kit of it?

My guess would be Anigrand.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Here it is: B-32. But, it's pricy!

Indeed, but it is a rare subject.

I've built a couple of Anigrand kits, Philo.

They are nicely made, go together well and IMO are worth it.

I apologize, I did not want to give the impression the the Arigand kit was not worth the money. My intent was it will not be a typical 1/72 Monogram/Revell kit price.

WOW !

Some very, very nice kits over at AniGrand !

A 1/72 Boeing VC-25A Air Force One !

Pricey, indeed.

$325 plus $52 shipping.

Wonder if the Boeing VC-25A could be modified to represent the space shuttle carrier for a Monogram shuttle?  Need a new house for that one.Surprise

Didn't Aviation Usk make a 1/72 plastic kit of the Dominator?  I never saw one in the flesh - er - plastic though.  It would have been early MPM quality though.

Looks like a B-26 and B-29 had a baby!

(A very big baby!)

Yes it looks like an enlarged A-26 with B-29 wings and an enlarged vertical tail fin.

That include their 1/72 F-108 Rapier, GM? I've got the CollectAire version in 1/48 and everytime I open that box I get more annoyed. I think the casting was done by a drunk platypus!

Actually it might have been the love child of a Liberator and a Privateer.

As always in these limited run resin kits; look into adding a (mentioned) B-24 or same plastic cheapy off of the net to get props, landing gear, or other stuff.

BTW my most recent Anigrand kit was the Republic Rainbow. 1/72.
