I am not interested, but on behalf of a friend, he wants to know if there are any 3-views, or plans out there available for a B-32 Dominator by Convair.

He has quite a few magazine articles and write-ups, but no plans on any of the versions for the A/C which flew the last mission of WW2.

Default To B or not to B

There is a very good book on the Consolidated B32 Dominator by Stephen Harding & James Long. It does not have 3 views but it does have plenty of photos of the B32 and some its twin tail version the XB 32. This book covers the developement and deployment of this heavy bomber. It gives combat history of the 312 th Bomb Group until its disbanding after the war.
Bob Banka has 2 sets of 3 views available for the B 32 in his Scale Documentation & Resource guide. No email address,

Good luck on the project. Happy landings,Tony

LDaba:

My friend says there a five out there. Magazines, and softback books. All are heavily illustrated, but no plans other than the size of a thumbnail. He had talked to Banka, a couple years ago, and it was mentioned he had numerous pictures, but no plans beyond a thumbnail size too.

One other of my elderly friends was in the group mentioned, but was transferred out before Terminator/Dominator arrived. It is from this little senario that the wanting friend developed the interest in this obscure A/c.

looks like a kit bashed b-24.fuse looks like a j model wink looks standard nacelles on three view look different like a pby-4 .obviously stab and rudder are diferent totally.nut looks like b-24 plans could be turned into the b-32.

Well, the original XB-32 was developed from the B-24, twin tail and all. However, the fuselage was circular in section, nor oval as on the -24.

if the cross section of the fuse is cycular they are east to draw check out my b-29 project in cad forum.the centerline of the glass nose formers are above the cl of formers behind nosegear as are the formers aft of the wing.a good portin though use all the same shape former except those cut for wing saddle.

useing the three views above and those books mainly "the roaring 20", the 20th bomb,heavy,group in action .Carl Bachhuber created the plans with ModelCAD. has 4 g-23's and hand made retracts since you will find that the retracts are very complicated.the wing has fowler flaps and has plug-in wingsand the verticle fin and rudder are removable for transport. he made the cowls and fairings from fiberglass. all the clear parts where thermal hand formed. the plane has a huge bomb bay from which he drops nerf balls ,scale bombs or candy depending on the assigned bombing mission.
at 85 lbs.this is a good reliable flyer. thanks to Carls lobbing of the AMA they now allow anytime flying of waivered a/c so that the pilots of these large a/c have enough stick time and have all of the bugs worked out.
