Looking real sharp John. I didn’t realize that the entire wing undersides were not painted in the anti flash white.
There were three underside versions according to my refs, Carlos. No white, partial white, as I am doing, and a more complete white that covered most of the undersurfaces. And probably individual variations of all three.

Finally manned up and installed the flaps on the B-47 today. The 3d printed rib parts were way too fragile to hold the flaps, so I cut off the actuators and replaced them with brass rod. I think this will be much less likely to be shedding flaps down the road, if it could even have gotten to the display case without doing that.

She's a big one... just as big as the old Monogram B-52 Stratofortress I did back in the 70s.

That looks fabulous John! the flaps do take it to the next level. Very nice!

Good to see that you're still working on this one John! Looks like you don't have too much farther to go.

Not quite. B-47 wingspan is 116. B-52 is 185
