Those windows really look great.

Well, she's finally done.

 

Clear nose has been detailed and painted along with the propellers and final details such as aerials and guns. The finishing touch was a scratch-built crew ladder, added to the nose wheel bay.

 

Here's a sneak preview...

 

 

More pictures will be uploaded to 'Finished Work' soon.

 

It's been a long journey, and thank you for you kind words of encouragement along the way... it's been a pleasure sharing my progress with you all!

I can't believe it! I've followed this build from start to... finish!

I've seen it up close at Telford and was amazed by the sheer size. It's just beautiful...

Fantastic Tom,

And it did't even took you a year to complete it. Epic build and a great inspiration.

Care to reveal your next project on here too?

That would really be LSM, and you would have to dig a pond in your garden too.

Cheers

 Greetings Tomas, & All;
 
 
...... Very nice project, and it is looking great ....... ....  .

 

Several years ago I read an article about a guy that built one of the 1/32 scale Vac. B-29. At

the time that he bought the model kit, I reckon he did not think about it. He lived in a trailer house,

after finishing the kit, he had to cut a hole in the side of the trailer to get the thing out .......  . 

..... I hope you have made a continence plan, for this type of thing.

 

Anyway looking good ..... .

 

 

Thanks for the tip about simulating the rubber de-icing boots.
