ATMH205 B-36 Peacemaker 1/184 Scale Plastic Model Kit Atlantis Models
The Convair B-36 Bomber entered service in 1948 and was the primary nuclear weapons delivery vehicle of Strategic Air Command (SAC) until it was replaced by the jet-powered Boeing B-52 Stratofortress beginning in 1955. Four General Electric J-47 turbojet engines paired in pods under the outer wings supplemented six 3,500 hp Pratt and Whitney engines to accomplish over target speed in excess of 435 mph. Old sliding type bomb bay doors became obsolete with the installation of the B-36 snap-action doors, which opened or closed in 2 seconds! Pressurized crew compartments forward and aft of the bomb bay accommodated fifteen men, including a four man relief crew. Communication and passage between compartments was via a four wheeled cart, which ran in a 25 inch diameter pressurized tunnel extending the entire 85 ft length of the all metal circular middle fuselage structure. The bomber was 162 ft long and had a wingspan of 230 ft. She carried a bomb load of 84000 lb.
This 1/184 scale model is molded in shiny silver and clear. The swivel stand molded in clear with spring ring and small globe stand molded in silver. Kit contains updated decals and 55 parts. Skill level 2, Glue, paint and assembly required.
