1/72 Monogram B-36 missing part
Posted by jdd51 on Sunday, March 12, 2023 5:25 PM

Greetings- I am in the process of building a Monogram 1/72 B-36 Peacemaker.  I have a missing part problem. The landing gear cover for the right wing, sprue #24 is missing. I want to display the finished project in flight, gear up. Does anyone have this piece in their spares and would part with it? The kit gives the option to build gear up or down. E-mail me if you have what I need. Thanks

Pretty much a flat piece devoid of any detail so why not just trace the other side on some sheet and flip it over?

Thanks for the tip. Ended up buying the entire sprue, but whatever it takes.

Thanks Again.

There's more to this part than a flat piece. There is a curved section at right angles that melds with the curve of the nacelle when the gear is retracted.
