RB-47H

[john53]

Here's the start to my second entry. It's the Hobbycraft 1/144 RB-47H built OOB using

kit decals. Both planes are NMF and from the same unit, 55 SRW in 1967. The only difference

I see is the serial numbers and one has a note that the forward nose lower bulge is unpainted

fiberglass(?). Guess I will flip a coin to see which number I use or use the "colorful" one

with the unpainted fiberglass?---John

Got a start on the Stratojet. I painted and assembled the cockpit. There's not much to

see so I didn't go overboard. I painted the interior chromate green, I made this from

using Testors little square bottle of chromate yellow mixed with 50% flat black. I think

it looks more toned down and not as bright as some other interior greens. The seats are dark

green and control yokes and side consoles flat black.---John

Nice, John! I just got the engines on my B-47E. I look forward to seeing your progress.

More work done. Fuselage together.---John

I just put the wings together. I can find no pictures of the

RB-47H with wing tanks so I didn't open the holes for them.---John

Nice cockpit for 1/144! I'll be watching, as I have this one in the stash and I want to see how it works out.

I have the wings assembled and cut the wing tips off to add the recon wingtips.

They need some sanding then I can add the wings to the fuselage.---John

[john53]

Moving right along, nose, wings, stabs on.---John

[john53]

I have the canopy on and most of the lumps and bumps.---John

[john53]

The engines are together and need some sanding. Then I'll assemble

them to the pylons and add to the wings. Almost ready to paint.---John

So far a splendid build.
