Anyone have any ideas where i can get
- Tow vehicle for my B-1
- Ordinance vehicle and trailer for my, you guessed it, B-1
Thanks guys!
The USAF uses what is called a “Euclid” (named after the manufacturer), to tow their large aircraft such as the B-52, KC-135, B-1, etc. I have never seen this large, 4 wheel drive monster ever modeled in any scale. Hasegawa makes several “weapons sets” and “ground support” sets in both 1/72 and 1/48 scale. At least one in each scale includes bombs and that little bomb loader, for which I can’t remember the designation.
The bombs themselves are usually transported from the ordnance storage area to the flight line on a flat bed or low boy tractor/trailer combination.

Ah I figured if anyone would know it would be you, Darwin. Thanks a whole heap! now to find an affordable tractor trailer…
ESCI made a Support set with Tow Tractor, trailer and a few other accessories. Not the right tractor for the B-1 though.
I have one of these in the FS stash.
OK i put in my wanted add at another forum… thanks philip!

well I’ve seen Verlinden’s tow vehicles but not like the Euker that is used, you may want to scratch build one yourself, out of Evergreen Styrene sheets,
