Darius Darius, At 1/48 scale, you would have to build on an addition to your house, wouldn't you? Just kidding. A 1/48 scale B-36 would be something to behold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Krukowski Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 All the wheels appear to be resting on that flat surface evenly. Extra points for that! Very impressive job. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mildenhall rules Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Awesome! I am building one at the moment, and if it turns out half as good, I will be well pleased. Great build mate. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chopperpilot71 Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 Thanks for the comments, the build itself was'nt bad at all, the difficulties that I encountered were entirely my mistakes! for example,I learned that 'Alclad' is a LACQUER, not an ENAMEL, therefore canNOT be sprayed on top of the other. (I can hear someone saying "If you had read the bottle....") Yes, yes, lesson learned. I rescribed the entire thing although the primer and painting process filled the panel lines most of the way back up. The decals are from Warbird and the went on without a hitch and responded to the Solvaset very well, the paint is Model Master and Alclad (I found a way to make them get along) Overall, it was a real joy to build, so much in fact that I'm thinking of doing another one immediately, an "A" model this time (Maybe).
