JohnnyK Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 It took a long time, nut my 1/48 B-29 is finally finished. That's a P-47 in front of the B-29. The B-29 is a big model. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusMac Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Lovely final result and the jug gives a great sense of just how big this beastie is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzaS Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Brilliant result, Johnny! The Jug is a big beast in itself. If you put a Ki-44 Tojo with it (a regular opponent), it would look even more huge...lol Gaz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Wow, eye candy, the result you achieved is perfect. You can't beat the real material for the surface. It seems like the hard way to foil a plane, but it sure looks great. Cheers Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, is the best way to duplicate a NMF. The B-29 took over 100 hours, because a bunch of that time was spent correcting poor engineering, especially the exhaust pipes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The P-47 is a much larger plane. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis.E Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Hi Johnny, I look at what you have achieved and I feel you have done those old moldings proud - I'm sure somewhere there's an old retired mold/modelmaker from Monogram looking at what you have created and smiling childlike to themselves over their coffee... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Johnny, congrats on these beautiful builds, as Dennis said to take these vintage mouldings and build perfectly is amazing, congrats again..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyK Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 Thanks everyone!! I really like working on those older Monogram/Revell models. It reminds me of when I put those together as a kid (long time ago). Back then I tried to paint the finished model with Testors' paint from the little square bottles. That never worked out very well, so usually I left the models in their natural gray plastic, blobs of glue and fogged up canopies. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
