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

That's half again as big! wow!

Great work! I was going to ask about the shiny look of the flap interiors but when I zoom in on the photo, I can see that they are only partially painted. Optical illusion!

Finally got to a finish with this one. Not a quick build but just one of those subjects that has to be in my collection. I made decal strips to frame the canopy, the rest is just detail work. I used Microscale decals for the markings which worked very well. As to size, it is a fair match to the Airfix Victor size-wise, but more slender.

Looks great John
Nice work!

Thats a real beauty John! Very nicely done! Gotta love the old SAC scheme of bare metal & anti flash white, with the shield and band.

Wow, what a beauty!! I would gladly put that in my display. Well done!!!

Now that's not something you see everyday - what a stunner - fab work John!

Thanks, everyone! A Hasegawa 1/48 A6M3 is underway now, I think it may go much quicker.

Wow, that looks great, John!
