wedfactory Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I have several large 1/72 kits that I have finished. The XB-70 (31"long x 18" wingspan) The XB-35 (12" long X 27" wingspan) I am currently working on several other large aircraft, the TU-22M (1/72), B-2 (1/72 - the "what we think it might look like" kit produced before the aircraft was unveiled), and SR-71B (1/48) While none of these aircraft are large scale (I wouldn't want a 1/32 scale of any of them) none are small models.. I also have the following to do in 1/72 B-2 (actual aircraft) B-52 TU-22B TU-95 TU-16 XB-49 EC-135 B-36 B-47 AC-130 and in 1/48 B-58 B-17 Catalina TSR-2 So I will definitively need more shelf space in the future...

LSP_Kevin Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Wow, cool models! I especially like the XB-70. I still fondly remember Russ's escapades with his 1/32 SR-71 scratch-build, and his sadly never-realised plans for a companion XB-70. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedfactory Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 I am currently working on a second XB-70 as well. this one is being built as if in flight, gear up, wingtips down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daywalker Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Beautiful work, and I do too especially love the Valkyrie. Very, VERY well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedfactory Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) Recscribed the XB-70 as most of the panel lines you see do not exist on the model. I had to search the internet to find 3 view drawings of the XB-70. The best site? One from Russia! Go figure. The kit is a putty hog, just like the SR-71 kits (pick one they all are). Squadron putty had best 3rd quarter ever last year! I am in the process of rescribing the SR-71B right now.

Guest Peterpools Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Beautiful work. The Northrop XB-35has always intrigued me as a wonder of the air. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrongWay Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 All of those are beautiful but I particularly like the Valkyrie and SR-71. I've toyed with the idea of building these kits but I'm not very good at scribing. Very tempting though. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJ Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Wow, cool models! I especially like the XB-70. I still fondly remember Russ's escapades with his 1/32 SR-71 scratch-build, and his sadly never-realised plans for a companion XB-70. Kev I was just thinking about Russ tonight. Seeing this makes me a bit melancholy, but only because he was taking on such a project in 1/32 scale. That and I just still really miss that guy... Great work on your large/small (or is it small/large) kits!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
