Gaaahhh... that just got me to look at the Trumpy 1/72 Bear kit I have lanquishing on the shelf.

I just removed the Contrail 1/72 TU-126 MOSS AEW model that was completed eons ago from the horrors of the roof space to be banished under the house. Nowhere else to put it these days.

Stop it..You do not have the space. Bad modeller.

A lot of British & Soviet stuff is like that; swap the makings around & they fit right in to the aesthetic, for some reason. :icon_surprised:

I have a plan to build one of my B-29/B-50 kits with swept wings and stretched a bit as a development of the Washington, only I'll put Tyne nacelles on it. I was actually thinking of using Britannia wings after seeing photos of B-29's being converted to RAF use in the big Filton hanger.
