Default The nicest model airplane I've ever seen.

I used to make rubber-band prop-driven airplanes.

This is a bit more than that....http://shock.military.com/Shock/vide...Content=111875

I had a fantasy about this. I'm not kidding, at 15 I was dreaming of the perfect model airplane and it was that bomber, that size (k maybe smaller but I was smaller) and it had those little bomb things with the gunpowerder tabs that blow up when youi drop them.

The world is a wonderful place when you have the money to afford it.

We need a drool smiley. That is freakin awesome!

You know what plane would make an interesting model like that? The Convair B-36. That thing was bigger than a B52 and it had a mix of both piston and turbojet engines. It would be interesting modeling both engine types on one model.

It did....*goes looking for YT video*


*edit*

Can't say for sure it is the same plane, but there can't be many 8 engine gas turbine model B52s of that size.
