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!

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.

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

Duct tape rocks!

Lyle, I am so happy to see that you could do the repairs this fast! You are now on the right track to an amazing and impressing B-29!

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!

Great recovery Lyle!

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

Nice save Lyle!

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.
