Papertrade 1:33 YB-49 Flying Wing
Started a new build, one of my favorite X planes, the Northrop Flying Wing
I have build the Papertrade printed version a couple of years ago, it was already big in 1:50, but now I'm going for 1:33, I got the PDF's from Ecardmodels, and enlarged them 150%, and re-arranged the parts to fit A3 ( i have a printer that can handle that) Of course it will be metallic, and I want to add a cockpit interior, which is not that easy, although I have some excellent books , but there is not that much extra information, the pictures of the cockpit shows something between a hoarders attic and a North Korean nuclear power plant , here are the first pic's

Should make for a most interesting build thread. Looking forward to the cockpit build.

That is really one of the most elegant planes that ever flew. I am really looking forward to following this build. I didn't know that Ecard models had this in a kit.

Some project !
Will follow your post with huge interest. Your comment about "the hoarders attick and the North Korean powerplant" was very humoristic

Way cool model. So, just how big is it in 1:33 scale.
Can't wait to see this one built.

Enlarged Papertrade YB-49 Flying Wing in 1:33 Scale
I am really looking forward to this, Billy,
The YB-49 jet-driven Northrop Flying Wing is one of my all-time X plane favourites. I'll have a look through my aircraft books and see if I can find someting on the cockpit. I'll let you know if I find something good. Keep up the good work! Bengt in Stockholm
