B-32 Dominator

Post by BlackSheep214 »

I was looking around on ebay today and found this little known WW2 bomber kit. That's one ugly bomber though - especially with such a large tail.

I always liked the look of the B-32. It looks more menacing than a B-24 or B-29. IIRC, the last US combat fatality of WWII occurred aboard a B-32 between the Nagasaki Atomic Bombing and the surrender in Tokyo Bay.

Same engines as the B-29, but not the same sleek lines. IIRC it was developped as a backup in case the B-29 wouldn´t meet its expectations.
