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.

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.
