Hi ST SkyFalcon,

Dont worry about your skill level, we all started somewhere. Be sure to read the info and watch the videos at the GB thread to learn about the B-36.
Post questions on there as you have them, and we`ll help you out.

RICMAC here, I could not help myself from not replying to this post.To look for this model and in this scale would be next to impossible. I had been looking for a model like this for approximately three years and no luck. Then out of the clear blue sky, I mentioned this to one of the hobby shops that I buy models from ONLINE. Would it be my luck? I asked the person at this hobby shop and to my disbelief, they had a brand spanking new model with its original cellophane and box in perfect condition. Ya, there are probably a few models out there like this 1/72 B-36, just got to look for them. GOOD HUNTING.....
RICMAC again, I built this model in 1981 and it was an adventure to say the least. I did OK then and today, I am about half way completed with my B-36 RB build for the model I bought about three weeks ago. You should do just fine with your build and I'll tell you why.... This model, yes, it's a 1/72 but it is probably 5 times bigger then your average fighter or prop job. You will be able to handle the parts easier and painting will be a breeze. Just remember one thing, PATIENCE, is something you will need to practice on this build. If you take your time and follow the building plans, you'll be surprised with the outcome. Just don't forget the front weights, so you won't have a tail dragger. Just ask for help, if you need it there are plenty of builders in this field.
My name is Richard and you will know it's me by my ID name of RICMAC. I built one of these monsters back in 1982 and I had alot of fun building and at the present time, I am building another RB-36H PEACEMAKER. I found this model about two months ago and finally bought it. At the present time I am at about 50% complete and would like to continue communicating with this blog about on going build. Any one needing help, even with any of a type of model just ask, will provide answer, if able too but I'm sure that If I ca't, there is always someone who can. Talk to you soon....
