Soon to be released 1/32 B-24 Liberator
Posted by CapnMac82 on Thursday, September 27, 2018 7:55 PM

Was on facebook and saw the Squadron Shop tease for this.

Color me mind boggled Smile

The kit price will probably not nearly be as bad as the note you need to build a hanger for the thing Smile

But, in a world with 1/48 U-Boot kits . . .

Will be cool to see one of these built, though.

Well, there are already 1/32 B-17s and Lancasters... Even a 1/35 Horsa glider... so why not a Liberator?

 

F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

N is for NO SURVIVORS...

Can’t be too much bigger than a 1/48 B-1 or a 1/32 F-14...

Had not seen those.  Mind boggled some more Smile

So, obviously, a B-29/50 then a B-36 will be needed.

 

Egad, I just mentally pictured what a 1/32 PB4Y- would take up for real estate.
Dang, right about 42" wide, near 30" long, and 11" tall for the Privateer.

I would literally downgrade in car if a good 1/32 B-36 was available. Talk about a dream kit.

Wouldn't need a car if you had a 1/32 B-36......you could drive around in it.  Ought to be good for town speed limits with 6 RC props and 4 RC turbinesBig Smile
