strategic Cold War bombers. [B-36D)
The B-36 Peacemaker was a true technological marvel and the largest combat aircraft ever built at the time. As the most capable bomber in the Strategic Air Command inventory, the B-36 was a very important deterrent in the early years of the Cold War; and remained in service until replaced by another legendary aircraft - the B-52.
Designed to fit both the newer Roden kit or the Hobbycraft kit, this 1/144 scale set provides markings for 20 Peacemakers covering almost every version of the B-36. Using the unit insignia and the spare digits provided, you can build almost any B-36 that served in these units.
The set also provides markings for the NB-36H (XB-36H) nuclear reactor test bed, which can be built by modifying your Roden or Hobbycraft kits using aftermarket parts.
