Lyle, you added an Youtube link in (Image) brackets. I guess this wasn´t planned this way?!?
What happened to your B-29? Hope she is not damaged!
B-29 in 1/48 Monogram
Re: B-29 in 1/48 Monogram
Sorry about that, Thomas....when it rains, it pours. Here is the picture. Lost the "guns" on the stinger, cracked the seam on the top and have to re-glue the canopy pieces. Lost the wacky-jabber (gun sight) that was inside the nose piece. I'll have to check the crater in the floor when the smoke clears.LyleW wrote:Well.....you knew it would happen. It was inevitable....the planets would align against me. Yup, it stalled and nose dived, inverted to the floor. Nothing horrible, but enough. Seems putting all that weight in the nose gets it there faster.

Whew, didn't take as long as I thought. Love 1/48 scale duct tape.

See? I had faith in you that you could fix that minor issue! Dude, you rock man! That is still a most impressive plane. Keep going man, that was a great, easy fix and you are back on track to finish an awesome model!

Looks just like a real repair. A couple strips of 100mph tape, (green duct tape in civilian parlance), and she's right as rain!

I have to fess up here, guys. It is just taped on as a joke. A friend suggested duct tape. It is partially re-attached and will be done soon.
