JWM Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) Hi, I was announcing that my next finished will be Potez 29 but it is "29", but B 29. I started this model in Christams 2014 and then it was in a kind of freeze... Now I finished (intending to present "Bockscar" while made his atom mission over Nagasaki - so without nose art etc. ): I made both bombs included in box ( abit reshaped and upgrated): "Fat man" and "Little boy" I have to do a kind of stand, but not done yet. Perhaps a trolley, but I do not have drawings for it... Comments welcome Regards Jerzy-Wojtek Edited October 3, 2017 by JWM GB logo added, corrected typo 44
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) Excellent work as always JWM ..... Edited October 1, 2017 by Corsairfoxfouruncle 1
JWM Posted October 2, 2017 Author Posted October 2, 2017 LostCosmonauts and corsairfoxfouruncle - many thanks, I appreciete your kind comments . This was not a simply build. The size of model makes it not very handy... Cheers J-W
KRK4m Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Extremely well job for the BRUSH applied silver enamels (4 shades or more?). Chapeau bas ! Michael 1

Michael Many thanks - I think six by brush and polished with linien (humbrol 11, 56, 191, two shades metalizers and one mix of white and 11 for central aluminum-manganeze alloy) and Tamiya rattle can as the seventh one (only on wings ) Cheers J-W 1

John_W Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Very nice build. I am so used to your excellent SCW builds I had to check the username twice to make sure it was you. Needs a B17 to make up the family. 1

Mark, thank you 32 minutes ago, Chaotic Mike said: You *brushed* that NMF? Kudos! Thank you! Yes the major part I brushed followed by polishing using a sheet of linen. Therefore it took me 3 years to finish...;). Finally I gave up and on some areas of wings I sprayed from Tamiya rattle can... Cheers Jerzy-Wojtek
Jure Miljevic Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Minimum of marking, just as it should be for Nagasaki mission a-bomber. Strangely enough, such plain markings suit very well to streamlined Art Deco style B-29's shape. Congratulations, Jerzy-Wojtek. Cheers Jure 1
Vinnie Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 That's great Jerzy, I assume you live in a big house. 1

B29 is not the biggest - the biggest are two Messerschmitt Gigants (321 & 323) Edited October 4, 2017 by JWM
TheLurker Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Can I join the chorus singing the praises of that NMF? It's stunning. 1
Habu12 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 It may be Bock's car, but it was Sweeney's bird when Fat Man was dropped. 1

Indeed, the pilot flying "Great artist" took Bocks car over Nagasaki. Anybody know why? Since "Great artist" was there as assiting bird I think... Cheers J-W Edited October 3, 2017 by JWM

Anybody know why? Since "Great artist" was there as assiting bird I think... Cheers J-w Because "The Great Artiste" was full of instrumentation from the Hiroshima drop. When the Kokura (original target) mission was pushed up by two days, the Artiste hadn't had all the equipment removed. Rather than move gear, they moved crews. Sweeney flew Bockscar and Bock flew Artiste. 1

zebra Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 As others have said, great work Jerzy, your brush painted NMF is amazing 1
kapam Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Love to see this kit done so well! I have an Academy 1:72 B-29 in my stash (as yet unstarted) and it's nice to see the finished model. The hand-applied NMF really looks the part! Well done! 1
Beard Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Stunning work, as usual, J-W; my disappointment in it not being one of your usual exoteric models is more than compensated by the finish. 1
DJJunis Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 One of the best metal brush painted models I have ever seen....well done! Thanks for sharing! All the Best! Don 1
