1:72nd B-36 British ID in wood! With landing gear!!

Postby grwebster » Sat Mar 27, 2010 5:27 am

Back in the early 1990s I acquired this model from Europe. It had been repainted so no stores number or other info can be seen.
I have posted this model on the other site a while ago but never got any reply. Also shared it with Steve Remington and Bryan Brown, but no one so far has any input.
What is interesting is that it has landing gear {not finely made but adequate}...and props which are not normally used in ID models which are depicted in flight.
The craftsmanship is pure post war British ID manufacture - turned wood, not sanded well or finished to any special degree. If this was a 'one of' model, one would expect more detailed finishing, but it is simple and left rough. Were there others made?
Anyone have an idea about it?
