This is the 1/48 scale vacuform B-47 by Sanger. As vac-form kits go, this is a beauty. It comes with basic metal landing gear and details so much detail must come from the spares box. Click on images below to see larger images Converting from the B-47B to the RB-47H required reshaping the nose, Raven pod, and various radomes with "Bondo". It was a lot of work, but I can't remember when I have had so much fun with a vac-form kit.
This particular RB-47H was photographed on the ramp at Tan Son Nhut, Vietnam on April 13, 1966. A few RB-47s did serve in Vietnam, gathering electronic intelligence. Kevin B. Rigby
