Hello all,
Normally I stick to armor, but I have a soft spot for the B36 bomber. I guess it was that Jimmy Stewart movie as a kid...
I had the Monogram B36, but realizing that I could never display it anywhere, I traded it for armor. I gave up trying to find an affordable copy of the ancient box-scale Revell B36 I built as a kid in the 60's.

Luckily for me, HobbyCraft came out with their 1/144th B36 - a small-enough yet big enough B36 to enjoy. I picked up their B36D version - I like what I see with the kit so far, but - it does not include the unusual armament platforms the B36 had "hidden" behind fuselage doors. This feature of the B36 would make for a wicked display.

My kit parts hint that they apparently offer a different version of a B36 that actually has the gun platforms included. So...

Does anyone know which HobbyCraft B36 kit is the one to get that has the "displayable" gun platforms?
Thanks in advance!
