Wow, this is about the upper size limit for Max's Comparitive 1/48 Aircraft Museum. With it's 27" wingspan it doesn't fit on any of my shelves, at least the display ones. This was a fun model in that there were a multitude of sub assemblies and lots of engines. It's my standard clean build and has a few seam issues but nothings perfect and it is one of my better works. It actually won a third place ribbon a couple of years ago at the Tulsa Modelers Forum show.
This also was a fun one to photograph and the first shot is my favorite. It's like you just walked up to it in person. It wouldn't fit on my little photo set for models and I had to lay out background paper and crawl around on the floor for a bit, not easy for us old dudes. LOL!
"Chow-hound" flew many missions over Germany and was eventually shot down with a partial loss of crew as were many others. A bit of history and not too bad of a model from Revell made for many fun hours of model building during a long Kansas winter.
The model had a fairly extensive interior but viewing it is difficult with small thick windows. (trying to save you some time if you build this one!)
Anyway as I say--Check it out.
Max
