Hmmm....interesting

as it's 3D-printed, I imagine it won't be too hard to scale it to 48th ? ;)

Wonder if you could apply the same design ideas to say ... a B-25 ?

It would be interesting if they also released a kit of the conceptually similar B.44:

Yes, he took the website down.  I asked him and he said he wasn't getting enough business to make it worth running.  You can still buy from him at the email address given above.
