BIG B-52 r/c kit

Post by aferguson » Sun Oct 18, 2009 10:51 am

I wasnt' sure which forum to put this on as it's kind of in between, scale -wise.

There's a new kit of a B-52 that has just come up for sale. It's 86 inch wingspan (just over 7 feet) and about 6 feet long. Some assembly is required and the kit must be painted.

It works out to about 1/26 scale. Price is $200 plus shipping. You may want to pay an extra $20 for a preshaped nose or you can sand it to shape yourself. As far as i know, the rest of the model requires no shaping.

Here's the thread on it, the last page(s) have the details of the kit:
