marty_hopkirk Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) Hi Andrew and welcome to the GB You're a brave man tackling a shine like that! Cliff The machine in that particular photo was 'polished up' for a Royal visit, in normal operations there were not nearly as polished as that. Marty...

It'sAllGoneHorriblyWrong Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Very cool, but very big. Where on Earth are you going to keep it when it's finished? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smeds Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Got 2 B-29's in the 'pending' pile. One is going to be a Washington, the other may be cut up and become an under construction at the maufacturer dio !! Just ordered a set of Kits at War decals for the Washington from Aviation Mega store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too! The second one though I'm not so sure what to do possibly converting it into a Tu-4 or one of these... Depending on how this one goes I might get another kit or two because there are quite a few I would like to do no that I think about it......

Ghostbase Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Well very good luck with this one Andrew, my late dad took that photo way back when in 1953 and I scanned the slide onto A.Net a few years back, way too much of a blue shift to my eyes now, must do that one again sometime soon when I have 'nuked' my troublesome PC! She was definitely gussied up for the review. He would have been delighted that an experienced modeller like yourself would have used his photo as a reference. Look forward to the finished build and please forgive me for getting a bit misty eyed at this point! Thank you Michael Hello everyone,I will be building this as one of these......

Derbyeomanry Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) An old mate of mine was a tail gunner in Washingtons - remembers bulling one up with wads of duraglit for the review Edited June 4, 2011 by Derbyeomanry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attman007 Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 Time to get started... As per most builds it starts with the cockpit and Monogram provide lots of detail here and throughout the model. Still a few details to pick out but the cockpit is almost done now just the rest of the interior! Cheers Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Good start on the cockpit, mate. (That throttle quadrant is amazing. I'll bet it was a pig to set up in the real thing!) Keep up that standard and you will have an amazing display at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
