These postings have my attention.  Is mix of B-35 & B-49 in stash, figure 10+.  Various ideas come to mind.

One is cut center out of B-35/49 and use the "wings" on some fortunate fuselage.

No Bill, the rotordome is on the E-3D which is on the next sheet below. I cut strategic holes in the plywood sheets so tall stuff could poke through, it allowed for more sheets that I could stack and then put in the box.

Oh that is some clever packing Robert  :smiley:  How are your styrofoam sheets pinned into place?

The styrofoam bottom halves were white glued to the plywood, the top halves were then pinned with nails to keep them lined up with the bottoms.

Worth a re-look - I especially like the idea of the B-35/EB-121 cross-over

What colours did you do yours in Russ ?








Unfortunately, a lot of the builds from Ninfinger's threads, like the long wing RB-49Q and the RAAF and NASA machine were around when I was in flux from film to digital photos and they went between the cracks as they say. I don't keep models around, the old adage ' its not the having but the getting ' !

   The builds I added here were old Fujicolor prints later scanned.
