With 4 and half hours to go! ;D (7:30 PM EST)
OK, I've been struggling with this one for 2 weeks but I was finally able to finish it tonight. My 1st attempt at NMF in a 3D profile; how'd I do? I saw a lot of different finishes on these birds throughout their lives ranging from highly polished, mirror finish, to very dull, brushed aluminum. I went for the dull finish since most of them appeared in this towards the ends of their service lives and by 1960, the end was certainly near.
Boeing WB-47E of the 55th WRS, 9WRW, McClellan AFB circa 1960.

Can you spot the change(s)?
Any and all comments, thoughts, ideas, etc... are appreciated as always.

Very neat, Mike! I LOVE the B-47. I'd love to see an attempt from you at a shiny NMF B-47, too.
Cheers,
