   YEARS AGO  MONOGRAM MODELS PRODUCED A 72ND SCALE PLASTIC MODEL KIT

   OF THE CONVAIR B-36 BOMBER WHICH FLEW IN THE 1940-1950  ERA.

   CONVAIR BUILT SOME 400 OF THE AIRCRAFT,  AND ONE TRANSPORT VERSION

  WITH A DIFFERENT FUSELAGE. .CALLED THE XC-99...

  IN 1987 I PRODUCED A STYRENE PLASTIC VACUFORM CONVERSION KIT  IN 72ND SCALE

   FOR THE  XC-99.  IT INCLUDED ONE PIECE LEFT AND RIGHT FUSELAGE HALVES,

   LEFT AND RIGHT VERTICAL TAIL  PIECES AND A RADOME..

  I STILL HAVE THE MOLDS FOR THE RADOME AND THE FUSELAGE 

  AND AM CONSIDERING REISSUING THEM  IF THERE IS ENOUGH INTEREST

  I NO  LONGER HAVE THE MOLDS FOR THE VERTICAL TAIL.

  HOWEVER, THE ATTACHED  72 SCALE  SIZE IMAGES OF THE FULL SIZE XC-99

AND MONOGRAM B-36 TAILS ALONG WITH THE   TEXT IN THIS  LISTING

PROVIDE A ROUTINE TO  MAKE A NEW  VERTICAL TAIL.

 A CONVERSION KIT WILL PROVIDE BALSA  BULKHEAD PATTERNS,

ALONG WITH  INSTRUCTIONS TO BUILD THE TAIL/FUSELAGE AND STAB

USING THE TECHNIQUES DETAILED IN THE CARGOMASTER AND

VANGUARD KITS LISTED AT THIS EBAY SITE..

A WAIT LIST HELPS JUSTIFY CREATING INSTRUCTIONS, DRAWINGS,  AND MOLDS,

AND HELPS GAUGE HOW MANY ITEMS MIGHT BE SOLD,  AND AVOID  FINANCIAL

LOSSES OF BUYING HUGE QUANTITIES  OF PLASTIC  AND CARDBOARD BOXES,

WITH THE THE POTENTIAL OF NO SALES.

REMEMBER THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY'S EDSEL AND CONVAIR'S CV 880 AND

CV 990 AIRLINER DESIGNS, TOOLING,  AND PRODUCTION RUNS THAT GENERATED

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN LOSSES.

THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN HERE... THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A WAIT LIST.

THE VACUFORMED PLASTIC PARTS FOR THESE MODEL AIRPLANE KITS 

ARE MADE BY ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL.. 

HIS RECENT SERIOUS SURGERY MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE  FOR HIM 

TO  USE HIS VACUFORM MACHINE AT PRESENT.

I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THAT SITUATION WILL CHANGE.

I  LOOK FORWARD TO BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE THEM TO YOU..
