Hello,

I'd like to ask everyone interested in the proposed modern injection mold B-32 Dominator 1/72 kit, which would be the first such ever, to vote for it on the ongoing Revell of Germany online contest.
Please join and help to make dream finally come true after many decades of waiting!

Many thanks in advance. :)

the model instructions / flight manual are still on the moon like the old joke passed on this board for years.

I voted and I hope that this is something that does go into production at some point, but I'm not sure if the market would support it. I think there are relatively few of us that would want a B-32 in their collection compared to what it would cause them to design, tool and market the kit. I've had a vacuform B-32 tucked away for quite a while now and it's high on my priority list to build, but I'd take an injection molded kit any day!

Instead, howzabout they reissue the old Matchbox Privateer kit since RG has all the old Matchbox molds and did very limited reissue of the kit a couple years ago. :roll:
The B-32 is WAY, WAY down my list of 'wishin' they woulds'

Thanks for your support. Well, there was a lot of talking regarding that issue lately and here's my point of view (and I believe many other's too) - If Revell could do some pretty obscure big aircraft in recent past such as BV 222 flying boat or Ju-290 (though they are Germans), I see no reason why they couldn't do Dominator as well. It reached operational status before the war's end and saw some combat, though in limited numbers. And finally, it has undoubtedly an impressive and attractive appearance! :)

Anyway, speaking about the flight manual, here's an extract from the original one! :D

(as the inboard propellers' pitch on Dominator could be reversed)
