Title: Combat Models Vacuforms
Post by: Rickshaw on April 21, 2015, 02:23:55 PM: I recently received an email from Combat Models Vacuforms which announced that he was about to release 1/72 models of a 727 and the B-19. He also apparently has the masters for a 1/48 B-36, although was lamenting how he could fit it on his vacuforming machine. :o

You certainly have enough 1/72 B-36s to make a "twelve turning and 8 burning" version from of that kit. Maybe with some modified Condor V-2s as "standoff weapons" under the wings.

Would compliment his 1/48 XB-35, YB-49 and BV238...

Post by: KiwiZac on April 22, 2015, 06:02:03 AM: There's a bloke on a few forums building Combat Models' 1/72 C-17 and doing a magnificent job. It's almost enough to make me want to pick up one of his kits...I'll have to investigate, thanks Greg.

Post by: Jeffry Fontaine on April 22, 2015, 06:20:26 AM: Not sure if he was intentional in mislabeling the kits but a number of the kits are attributed to the wrong manufacturer.

For example: 1:48th scale XB-49 is attributed to Lockheed and not Northrop.

Yeah I noted that too...but don't really worry so long as the kits are ok.
