After a fairly long absence from these pages, we have a new sheet from Caracal Models. This one is for the B-36 and includes no fewer than 20 different options, including one for the nuclear test bed plane. The B-36 served for a fairly short period of time as the B-52 did the job better and was easier to maintain. All the operational aircraft were in overall unpainted metal with some having a white underside. Some of the early planes had red 'arctic' markings.
So here is what's included:
RB-36H 51-5754, 72SRW, Ramey AFB
RB-36E 44-92014, 72SRW, Ramey AFB
B-36F 50-1069, 6BW, Walker AFB

GRB-36D 49-2692, 99SRW, Fairchild AFB
RB-36H 51-5729, 28SRW, Rapid City (Ellsworth) AFB
RB-36E 44-92020, 5SRW, Travis AFB

The set includes full standard markings for one aircraft. Note that there is a third decal sheet not shown that includes more serial numbers of various sizes and a set of wing/fuselage walk markings. There are kits available from Hobbycraft and Roden for this set. The decals themselves are superbly printed by Cartograf.
