Thank you! There was no way, ever, this thing would be suitable for NMF! Ever.

Well done Lyle! I need to also do a green B-29.

Thanks, Duke.

Maybe the next one? Looking back at the progress of your builds this shouldn´t take too long to see you do a NMF one!
Do you have any decals for a OD one in the box?

BSY - GET BUSY! It will be a terrific build.

Thomas - I don't know. I usually find some way to mar the surface. Or, I simply do not have enough patience to prepare it properly, especially on one that big. No decals in the box. A gent on FSM has that sheet and has indicated he will send me the "Old Battler" ones. He is apparently in the military and overseas, due to return home "soon" as he put it. I have a plan b if that doesn't work out.

Sounds good. Looks the same!

It's nice to see an OD Green one for a change.

Well that was special. Typed in a bunch of witty and humorous comments and they went away when I left the page for a bit- another tab. Oh well. Your loss.

Not much really has been happening here. Interest is waning and this thing is like having the proverbial 800 pound gorilla in your room. I don't like masking. I really don't like masking something this big, but I think I hid it pretty well.



Got the gray on, sort of looks like the German Hellblau.





Turrets are on. Interestingly, the destructions did not have any reference to the four gun top turret At all. Nothing. Zip. Nada. No Mas. But, fear not. Being an intrepid scale modeler, I improvised and did what looked right.



Managed to lose the canon in the stinger. Using my vast scratch building skills, made one from cattails, chewing gum, kerosene, a pound of flour and six Chiclets.
