Hello all,

A 1/48 B-52D Vietnam Era. I know a company is currently making 1/48 B-52s in vacuum form, I'd like a polystyrene model kit!
Also, a 1/48 WWII US Pacific Theater bomber crew!

I would have to second Luciano's 1/48 Beaufort. And a tad larger and still on a maritime theme, there were rumours years ago about a 1/48 Sunderland from Fonderie Miniatures. Would probably have been largely un-buildable back then, but in the event it never appeared.

But a modern IM 1/48 Sunderland could be a masterpiece...

I'm pretty sure she'd veto that idea ASAP. I'm not even allowed to display any of my builds anywhere in the main part of the house except in my model/computer room. I'm currently remodeling the main room in the basement since my son finally moved out of his suite down there. I'm planning on installing large shelves with individual display cases for each model. Of course when we move, I'm screwed, as I doubt the new Condo will have as much display space as our home does.
