Popular Post bentwaters81tfw Posted August 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2021 We had our first club meet for 18 months last weekend. I put this bad boy in. It's destined for the museum when we can find a case big enough. 79 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I built one once and it's a great kit. bentwaters81tfw, your B-36 is superb. I've seen several built but yours is clearly the best I've ever seen.

LDSModeller Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Way Nice B36 Did you use kit decals, or aftermarket ( if so, who, if you don't mind me asking) I have one of these in my stash, wanting to build it, but the kit decals are mostly wrong/inaccurate Thanks for sharing your model with us Thanks/regards Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 She's a beauty! I love the various panel treatments for the natural metal finish! Was it any trouble getting it to the club meeting? I'd need a whole back seat and some well-placed cushioning in my car! 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Göran Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Hi What others already have said. Lovely buidl/finish of the BMF. If you have more pics, especially close ups, don´t hesitate to post them. The BMF colours, are they Alclad? Cheers G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busnproplinerfan Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 The one from the movie. Definitely should be in a museum. I have a built one I got second hand that had the wings left removable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Really superb job Frank 👋👋👋 it's so hard to get such a sharp, consistent finish on a canvas this big but you've absolutely smashed it 👍 5 hours ago, SAT69 said: I've seen several built but yours is clearly the best I've ever seen.

bentwaters81tfw Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 Thanks fellas. The wings are removable, so it sits in a box no wider than the tailplane. Decals are Warbird for the walkways and stencils, and Scalemaster sheet SM-31. As usual, it's painted with Halfords rattlecans in assorted silvers. Biggest problem is getting the fuselage join invisible. No other pictures at present, this one was by way of our club chairman's smartphone and our Facebook website, so it could be better. Surprisingly, it won't fit in my photobooth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafetyDad Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Lovely lovely job! Well done - as the others have said, a very impressive build. I take some comfort in your use of rattlecans - I too have one of these to build and using spray cans would seem to be the way. What variations of silver did you use?

Toryu Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 A monumental model of a monumental aeroplane. This is the most impressive warplane ever conceived, in my view. It looks like from the H G Wells book 'The War in the Air', almost Sci-Fi. Your model is just fantastic. Could you take a picture of it next to this B-24 there to illustrate the incredible size?
