After trying for some time now to beat the summer doldrums and a general modeling malaise, there is a glimmer of hope.
A fun project for a friend that is a Yankee nut whose favorite plane happens to be the B2. So I bring you, the not yet complete, “Bronx Bomber”.
Because he is making me a custom wood case for my home brew, I said I would build him B2. He asked if I could put a little Yankee logo on the wheel hub. [whistle] I still have to print the hat & bat and a few other customs decals.
Pretty cool Marc.
Regards, Rick
Marc,I always love your work and value your advice,but this has crossed the line.As a Yankee Hater I hope it crashes and burns. [:D]
seriously Marc,cool idea and great work
Nice Marc. [Y] Can’t wait to see the finished bird.

^^^AAAHHH, a Mets fan…^^^^^^
I dont like the Yanks at all, but this is a cool project! HAHA…Bronx Bomber…AWESOME!
Cool project Marc but it would be even better is it was the White Sox!
Love it !!! Don’t forget the little Red Sox logos on the fuselage showing how many times the Yanks “bombed” 'em. [6]
Thats pretty cool.
Mike has a good idea about the Red Sox logos.
Thnks for all the comments guys. It’s been a while since I have been smiling a little as Ipulled off masked tape etc.
OMG that is too funny. And a FANTASTIC idea.
Cool build !
I can see it sitting in a sports collectibles shop somewhere.
I hope folks don’t ever hafta pay royalties for such builds…
Fantastic! Sure is different and funny.
I was by the local Barnes and Noble and looking through the modelling mags yesterday, and I saw a new 1/144 Me-262 with a kettengrad kit from Trumpeter. I immediately thought, HEY, a 1/144 Kettengrad, that’s excactly what Marc needs to pull one of his 1/144 planes or pose next to his 1/144 panzers! I even saw some other company selling PE for 1/144 kits - Crazy small!
Cool idea, but if it is to be a true representation of the Spankees, you need a pretentious a$$ pilot with a bloated ego!
Chris
Thanks again for all the comments fellas
GOT ONE … LOL
What was the company wit the 144th PE [:P]
Now, this one will be interesting. (and different. Now, insted of political arguments, it’ll be Yankee fans Vs. Red sox fans)
I don’t really care that much for sports, but I do like unusual aircraft markings.
Argh, can’t remember for the life of me, I’ll try to look it up later and send you a note. Sorry
No worries. The way I’ve been lately, I am surprised I remember what I asked you
‘The Warriors 2010’
Somehow the plane reminds me of the movie ‘The Warriors’
*The different characters & gangs would make for cool AM resin figures, anyone agree?
I love the build Marc! Like so many other things, we sometimes need a reminder that this is supposed to be fun. Bo Sox logos on the side would be awesome!
I love sports rivalries. Here in the South, they don’t really get going good until football season starts but they do provide some year-round entertainment. When they stay friendly and fun, it helps to get me through until the next fall.
Great job Marc but I think you were a bit heavy handed on the vertical panel lines. [:P]
Great job on the fun subject! Makes me want to try something similar in homage to my beloved Milwaukee Brewers. (Insert your own joke here)

Can’t top the joke you’ve already inserted, Eric! [6]
