- Complete time lapse build of the very large Monogram 1/72 B-36 Peacemaker. Kit can be built as either a recon ship, or bomber. I chose to build the bomber version. I believe this was the latest box art version that they produced
When my father passed away he had well over a hundred unmade models. (and many made) He had planned a 1/72 scale air force museum. In later years we'd ask him when he was going to get started and he'd always say "even if it never happens it was a beautiful dream". Kept as many as I could to display always in box, never opened to remind me of his beautiful dream.
Stan Mohr, I hear ya....I am also a model builder, with many unbuilt kits....with this 'crisis' going on, I have been able to build some of my kits.....starting with my fourth this Year!! You Hang on to them....sounds like they give you Great memories of your father, I have a young teen-ager trying to get her into some of my builds!
I too have a large stash of kits, north of 650, that aren't built yet. My two daughters both want to get more involved in the hobby, so perhaps some of them will be passed down instead of sold when I die.
Build them all to make his dream real! That's the task for you!!!😎
I have an unopened kit sitting in my closet. I am 50 years old and this will be my 3rd time ever trying to build this plane, One Day. My first attempt was back in the 80's when I bought it at my local TG&Y. Being a novice kid, it didn't go well. A few years later, I bought another kit but life got in the sway and it disappeared in my many travels to different duty stations while I was in the military. One day, I'll break the plastic on that kit and give it the time it deserves.
When you are retired you will have more time... Propably!🤣👍
You are probably the last person in the world using Testors tube glue...lol. Great job!
I have that kit, just not the room to actually build it. Lots of people say all Revellogram kits are crap...I think there are crap modelers that are "assemblers" , don`t take the time to make these kits into what they can be. You have certainly accomplished that!
Depends on when they were made... Allready experienced in the 90's that some are re-boxed older Kits that are not as detailed as actual ones. In the 90's I had a lot of Revell / Monogram / Italeri Kits. From my Experience the british and french were the worst Kit's! Airfix for Example... And japanese Kits like Tamiya and Hasegawa were allways good Quality.. But that was the 90's in my Youth. Don't know what Happens to Quality since then...
Six turnin, four burnin!
Two turnin, two burning, two smoking, two choking, and two more unaccounted for XD
"FM 4.0" - The painstaking build quality. The paint & decals. The professional videography. Five stars all around. Amazing model !!!
I have built thousands of kits relentlessly since I was a kid. I have never stopped. I'm 52 and my eyes are going bad fast. I'm sure I'll leave behind thousands unbuilt. Why unbuilt kits many people asked? Answer: So I have whatever I want to build whenever I want to build it. No one can deny how much I HAVE FINISHED!
I know from myself in the 90's, it's a Passion / Addiction!🤣👍
I thought I built many with about 200-300 Aircraft, Helicopter, Ships, Tanks, Racecars... But over 1000 Models is a different League!🤣👍
This kit most closely represents an RB-36H model. Some of the panel lines need to be sanded a create a true bomber version. This kit was actually modeled after the sole surviving RB-36H that was at Chanute AFB in Rantoul Illinois. Monogram headquarters in Morton Grove Illinois was not too far from Chanute. This is why the kit has the single early RB style bomb bay. This RB-36H was moved when Chanute was closed and has been at the Castle Air Museum in California since the mid-1990's.
I have a pic of it at chanute..1983
For me this is the ultimate Bomber!!!!
It's huge, many engines and MG turretts, big Crew inside, many many Gauges in the Cockpit! I love this old school Stuff!😊
Also love the Movie "Strategic Air Command" with James Steward!
Gives me a feeling for the Golden Age of (Jet) Aviation when USA reached for more, more, more! Altitude, Speed, Range, Bomb Load...
I'm a Fan of Oldschool military Aircraft!😊
Also in my Youth in the 90's I also built many 1/72 and 1/48 Aircraft and Helicopters. Greetings from Germany!😎👍
I've got one. Took 15 years to build. LOL Got busy with life. Now all finished and hanging in my office. Mine is the Recon version. Getting ready to retire and continue work on my large pile of boxes.
Bravo. It is a mad aircraft which you have brought it back to life with the careful masking/painting
This kit came out in the summer of 1980, during Monogram's heyday. Many of the first run of the model had broken propellers for some reason.
It is very well detailed...but there seem to be very few actually built.
A minor point; those are throttles. The jets have thrust levers mounted overhead on the canopy. Very good paint and finish, and outstanding decal work.
Had this kit in the early eighties. This thing was _huge_ at allmost 1 metre wingspan.
Thanks for sharing . No matter ones skill level.. that is one impressive kit. It was an amazing plane that deserved being called "The Big Stick" . Nice job. I hope to build mine one day.
I have been under and around the B36 located at Wright-Pat. I think there might be a full dozen other planes parked under it. It is only then that you can fully grasp how huge this aircraft is.
I had this as a kid. It was massive. My mum didn't want me to hang it up in case it fell and hit someone lol
Wonderful model you made. I hope you take well deserved satisfaction and such a superb construction and painting. I applaud you skill, talent and patience.
Beautiful
I have always admired the B-36! I know that it's very, very old schooled. Those huge piston engines would, and did have so many problems, but they still call to me... They tried the 4 jet engines later on, but was only a quick fix, and the B-52 would come online in the early 1950's. I still love the 'Aluminum Overcast', of the B-36! Semper Fidelis
A most excellent job building, painting and decaling the big B-36, hopefully I will get to mine soon. You are a good influence!
My favorite kit.Took awhile to put it together but it looks great.
oh this is great, it looks like larger than 1/48 C-130
Nice - actually the engineers seats do crowd the pilots seats - an illusion of extra space in the shot from the Air Force Museum was created by the super wide fisheye lens.
Massive. What a monster. Impressive, these were the days, what an era. Nice build.
Incredible work, came out beautiful.
Wow! Great job!!! I built one of these in the 90's but I sold it at a model kit show. I'm currently working on my second one, although I made the mistake of creating a bomber version with both bomb bays open. Lots of scratch building involved. I love building but I hate painting.
We're you able to find 1:72 nukes to go in the bays? I'm building mine as the 1950 New Mexico "Broken Arrow" bird, and I'd like to have both bays detailed and open.
Impressive!
Wow, that is one massive model kit. Great job on the build and finish👍
I have the same kit. Box art says Monogram 1980. Hope to build it someday. Thanks for your video.
Great job
I built one of these back in the mid-1990s. It's held up very well. I did lose the antennae behind the cockpit at some point. The black walkways are a little compromised. All in all it's still one of my favs. Very difficult if I remember.
Got one of these, started building it then thought, where the hell am I going to put it!
Need a 2nd mortgage to make room for it.
Local libraries may accept them for displays, the one I worked at did, one can also cycle them around to district libraries too.☺
Hang it from the ceiling in your man cave.I did.
I truly enjoyed building these models and most came out pretty good since I am not one with artistic talents. The thing I regret was not having enough space for them.
Magnificent.
Had the same kit about 10 years ago, couldnt finish it because my hands were too shaky.
Beautiful airplane. There's one at the Pima air and space museum in Tucson, AZ it's absolutely massive. Great job!
NICE JOBBB - One of the Air Museums would be Proud to have this Beautifulll Example you made👏👏👏👌👌👌+++
The Monogram is still the best B-36 model but wish they hadn’t made that hump at the wing-join on top of the fuselage - on the real plane there’s a few inch gap where the wings come together. Could never think of an easy way to fix this on the model.
turned out real nice. I built the same model about 20 years ago. It looks nice but I didn't put in half the detail you did. It looks great hanging in my garage.
Brilliant build!
My favorite plane in the whole wide world. Love this video ty!
I was lucky enough to get the 1st run edition in I think ‘85...it was molded in sliver. Massive kit, one of the largest injection molded kits ever. I have the 1/144 Hobbycraft kit of the ‘FICON’ version with the Bomb bay mounted RF -84 and Goblin yet to build. There is actually an 1/48 scale multi-media B-36 kit out there too...you’d have to build that one in the garage!
Who cares about cockpit details...The model looks great !
I like it :)
Amazing detail. Nice job.
I have the same model, in storage for the last 20 years.
Very impressive work!
Terrific work. A superb model and worth all the very intricate work.
So Big, so Bad, but so Beautiful !!! Thanks for shating !! ***** :-)
A 1/72 scale B-36 is about the same size as a 1/48 scale B-29!
Just WOW nice job.
It's REALLY an impressive model, it's so huge that dwarf also your B52, I remember the movie you quoted, there was Jimmy Stewart on it and was one of the best aereonautical - themed movies.
I would love to see you make the tu 95 in 1/72, I really wish you make a tutorial on this plane, great job, love the b36
Very nice
Beautiful job.....
I should probably record to video when I build my B 36 of the same kit. Or maybe no one will care... Nice video!!
VERY nice job. I have an earlier release that seems to have different decals than yours. I really want to build it and I wanted to make mine a Ficon B-36. Looking at yours is making me want to build mine but I have another big model to build first. I just got a Me-323 on Ebay so that will probably be my next build.
WOW! Nice job 👍👍
The B-36 has its advantages over the B-52.
-longer range
-higher bomb capacity
Very Nice ! Bob
Nice job.
Great Job !!!
I built one of these something like 30 years ago. Definitely a lot of work but worth it.
Amazing!
Did this kit when I was 13 in 79 took me a day to tape it up for polished aluminum on wings, think my interior color was more puke green
Very nice Job !
Any weight needed in the nose to prevent it being a tail-sitter? If so, how much?
Keep up the videos nice job. I just picked up this kit myself and it was a nice walkthrough
Thanks for the video! Have one on the way for my next project and really handy to see how someone else went with fit finish/putty and painting and the order you did it in. Any hints/tips?
nice job
Nice build and great vidéo ! :o)
People should like the videos they watch
magnificent job. i have two monogram b-36s that i'm going to build and i'll be lucky if i come even half as good as you. but one question. why didn't you use weights in the nose to lift up the tail?
The B 36' s size regulated the B 29 down to a medium bomber.
Very good skill but you should not mask the white paint but airbrush it fuzzy , it is a mistake just as on the museum b36's
Very nice. Now we're can you display it at?
Super build except no tail number
Did I read they built 386 of these planes?
Great build!
This thing is huge!!! Check out the Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, OH. It's free !!!!
Did this huge airplane use two different kinds of fuel?
why not use rubber bands vs tape to hold things together?
Very nice !
What color paint did you use? Having been inside the real thing (Castle Air Museum, Atwater CA) it looks a little too bright.🤔
The table on the right side if the Fuselage, I think its 74 C, I can’t seem to get on, and it seems to be backwards, did you have the same problem or did I use the wrong part?
And I thought that the Boeing 757 was "the flying pencil!"
How can I get one
In early 80s I purchased this model from TG&Y and paid less than 20dollars 🤪🛩😪
i wonder why the interiors were green?
Ken L I believe the paint used to protect the interior areas of most aircraft of the period was zinc chromate which is anti-corrosive and more of a pea soup green from the paint used on this beautiful model. The builder has lots of talent and patience.
Beautiful job.
制作過程よりも、どうやって保管してるのかが気になる...！
Too bad turboprop motors weren't available for the B-36, that could have made for a much better aircraft. I knew a guy who was a ground crewman on them... he said they pretty much ran as well on four props as all six. I bet the four jet engines wouldn't be needed with turboprops.
6 turning, 4 burning
B36 as Jimmy Stuart flew in the movie? Any one have numbers on a decal sheet?
Too bad! "Monogram" is history now! Revell will continue producing their good stuffs, the RB-36H under their packaging!
The B36 bomber was used between 1946 - 1958. When flying its engine noise was so audible they said the enemy.could probably hear it before it arrived. These planes were long range bombers . B 36 was used because the early jet bombers of the 50's had no long range capabilities. Not until the arrival of the Boeing B52 bomber
. The " Big Stick" gave up the sky .The tandem jet engines on each wing provided JATO. ( jet assisted.take off). Another Giant of the sky was the XC 33 transport.Built by Convair.Only one was.ever built. Also, the Jet bomber swept wing variant. XB50 ( jet bomber version of. B36. even had swept back tail and pointed nose cone.but the cockpit was standard.B36. ) Only one was.made Airforce rejected it after 2 months of service.1955.. The B36 was developed.in 1942 , as competition with Boeing who was developing the B29 Superfortress.. The B29 won out in the race over the B36. After the war.B36 went.into.production making the B29.a medium.Bomber because of its great size.( also the Russians knew everything about B29"s by then.nothing about B36.)
Some useless trivia, the B-36 wings were so cavernous, a man could walk inside them out to the 2nd engine in each wing.
I BOUGHT THE SAME MODEL IN THE ORIG. BOX A FEW YRS AGO, IT COST ME $35.00 I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD DEAL, I'LL
LEAVE IT TO MY GRANDSON TO MAKE SOMEDAY IF HE WANTS TO, OR SAVE IT, IT MIGHT SELL FOR SOME GOOD $ SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE? WE'LL SEE.
Fekkin' huge
peacmaker as a name is almost blasphemie.
NICE job.
For me this is the ultimate Bomber!!!!
It's huge, many engines and MG turretts, big Crew inside, many many Gauges in the Cockpit! I love this old school Stuff!😊
