Popular Post adey m Posted February 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) As promised at the end of this project's Work In Progress here are pictures of my Stratojet conventional bomber in ' operational service ' . Change of Squadron colours from red to blue. Scratchbuilt MD-3 power trolley and 1/144 Boeing WB-50D Weatherfortress in background. Scratchbuilt MD-3 trolley. I was going to buy a resin kit of it but they were unavailable/out of stock so I decided to make my own from plastic card and plastic rod. I found the wheels in my spares box, they are the bogie wheels from an Airfix Panzer IV. Landing light in front of engine pod is hand painted. Windscreen wiper added. Thank you for viewing. cheers, adey Edited February 28, 2018 by adey m 75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatFlyHalf Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Amazing stuff. I was totally fooled and thought it was real. And even 'stretch marks' on the fuselage, just perfect. Those wrinkles that come with age, even Boeings get them! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unfinished project Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 What a thing of beauty I have one of these in the stash and have been following the build intensely. My hats off to you sir beautiful realistic rendering of a beautiful machine. I think I’ll watch Strategic Air Command with James Stewart to try and boost the courage to start mine. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adey m Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) Thank you guys for all your kind comments. I am glad that I was able to add a model to my collection that I have admired since first seeing a FROG one when I was eleven. I hope that I have done justice to what must be one of the most beautiful looking warplanes built. And now as a complete contrast I must carry on with my Matchbox Handley Page Heyford. regards, adey Edited February 28, 2018 by adey m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 "Wha, wha, wha- Why she's the most beautiful aeroplane I've ever seen, General!" Seriously, you've done a bang-up job on the old Hasegawa kit- next to the Canberra, the most beautiful jet bomber ever, IMHO! Well done! Mike (Now you've done it- gotta fire up the DVD player and watch "Strategic Air Command" a couple more times!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
