When my father passed away he had well over a hundred unmade models. (and many made) He had planned a 1/72 scale air force museum. In later years we'd ask him when he was going to get started and he'd always say "even if it never happens it was a beautiful dream". Kept as many as I could to display always in box, never opened to remind me of his beautiful dream.

I have an unopened kit sitting in my closet. I am 50 years old and this will be my 3rd time ever trying to build this plane, One Day. My first attempt was back in the 80's when I bought it at my local TG&Y. Being a novice kid, it didn't go well. A few years later, I bought another kit but life got in the sway and it disappeared in my many travels to different duty stations while I was in the military. One day, I'll break the plastic on that kit and give it the time it deserves.

You are probably the last person in the world using Testors tube glue...lol. Great job! I have that kit, just not the room to actually build it.

Depends on when they were made... Allready experienced in the 90's that some are re-boxed older Kits that are not as detailed as actual ones. In the 90's I had a lot of Revell / Monogram / Italeri Kits. From my Experience the british and french were the worst Kit's! Airfix for Example... And japanese Kits like Tamiya and Hasegawa were allways good Quality.. But that was the 90's in my Youth. Don't know what Happens to Quality since then...

This kit most closely represents an RB-36H model. Some of the panel lines need to be sanded a create a true bomber version. This kit was actually modeled after the sole surviving RB-36H that was at Chanute AFB in Rantoul Illinois. Monogram headquarters in Morton Grove Illinois was not too far from Chanute. This is why the kit has the single early RB style bomb bay. This RB-36H was moved when Chanute was closed and has been at the Castle Air Museum in California since the mid-1990's.

I have always admired the B-36! I know that it's very, very old schooled. Those huge piston engines would, and did have so many problems, but they still call to me... They tried the 4 jet engines later on, but was only a quick fix, and the B-52 would come online in the early 1950's. I still love the 'Aluminum Overcast', of the B-36! Semper Fidelis

The Monogram is still the best B-36 model but wish they hadn’t made that hump at the wing-join on top of the fuselage - on the real plane there’s a few inch gap where the wings come together. Could never think of an easy way to fix this on the model.

The B36 bomber was used between 1946 - 1958. When flying its engine noise was so audible they said the enemy.could probably hear it before it arrived. These planes were long range bombers . B 36 was used because the early jet bombers of the 50's had no long range capabilities. Not until the arrival of the Boeing B52 bomber . The " Big Stick" gave up the sky .The tandem jet engines on each wing provided JATO. ( jet assisted.take off). Another Giant of the sky was the XC 33 transport.Built by Convair.Only one was.ever built. Also, the Jet bomber swept wing variant. XB50 ( jet bomber version of. B36. even had swept back tail and pointed nose cone.but the cockpit was standard.B36. ) Only one was.made Airforce rejected it after 2 months of service.1955.. The B36 was developed.in 1942 , as competition with Boeing who was developing the B29 Superfortress.. The B29 won out in the race over the B36. After the war.B36 went.into.production making the B29.a medium.Bomber because of its great size.( also the Russians knew everything about B29"s by then.nothing about B36.)
