But it was fun to build and provides a lot of opportunity to do some neat things.

I recently completed an even larger one...the largest production bomber ever produced.

It was the B-36 Peacemaker of the US Air Force in 1/72 scale by Monomgram.  Here's the build page for it here on FS:

Hope you enjoy taking a look at that build too.

I added a youtube video of the aircraft here:

Richard...here is the thread I spoke of.

hello, this is a great model, but here are some few tips, the flaps could be painted in dark allumi and black tamiya wash could be applyd on the model to add some depth and darkness, you could also add some type of coal powder trail beside the engine to show the smoke coming out of the engines, I'm getting the model soon! Great model! stay safe!

[/quote0Thanks for the tips.  I prefered to build it without the detail and work to make to look as though it had been out in the field and unergoing rigorous flight schedule which would create the look you are seeking with those painting and other such weathering tips...I hve done that with some models, but prefer to minimize it though I do get some of it in there...just not to the degree you are talking about.

If you have been practising that and building your aircraft with such weathering and use tips, then I am sure you end uop with really museum quality models and I applaud you for it.

Please build your model and them make a page regarding the build and the things you did.  I know I will read it!

God's speed and b;lessings to you.

wow what a beautiful job!! I dont know how I missed this.. and with the date of start. Thank you for the tips.

Thanks a lot. Feel free to see my other reviews here. Also, feel free to subscribe to my YouTube channel. Just do a youtube search on "Jeff Head youtube chanel".

Well done, Jeff.  I've had this one for awhile but haven't had as much ambition as you so far.  Thanks for the missile and bay pictures.
