would a 1/18 scale be for a B-36, Hindenburg, Titanic, and the B-52?
B36 would be about 4ft 9 (ish) with the B52 not much smaller.
Hindenberg would be just short of 17 feet
Titanic would be a titanic 18+ feet
All the best (and looking forward to the scratchbuilds 
)

OOPS![(-D]
Someone is using fuzzy math…the 1:18 B-25 that C21 is planning to release has a wing span of over 4 feet. A B-36 would be several times larger than that. Compare these two B-25s, one is 1:48 the other is I think 1:12. Now imagine a B-36 or B-52.
How about a 1:9 scale C-17? Half of this would be 1:18…think you’ve got room inside the house for it even at that scale?
I was told this is a 1:72 model of the Hindenberg

You could always make room or get a new house…
Was sure that post read 1/48th scale [%-)] ho well. Time for new specs methinks.
All the best.

I do have the room…but even so it would be an inconvience at times.
The B-36 would have a wingspan of about 12.5 feet.
At that size I’d expect jet sound, rotating props, movable surfaces (including the flaps) and an opening/closing bomb bay![:D]
3 M wingspan = about 10.2 feet, so this radio controlled flying model is just a bit shy…

B-36:
Wing span 230 feet, 1/18 model = 12.7 feet
Length 162 feet, 1/18 model = 9 feet
B-52:
wing span 185 feet, 1/18 model = 10.3 feet
lenght 159 feet, 1/18 model = 8.8 feet
Titanic: Length 882 feet, 1/18 model = 49 feet
Hindenburg: Length 803 1/18 model = 44.6 feet
Those would all be some pretty big models.

Why build such a small Peacemaker? How about at action figure scale?

This one is 1/18 I think:
Beyond cool.
Model nerds sooo rule!
