Thanks everyone for the positive comments and the likes even though I dropped the ball on the decals.
To everyone commenting on the wing stars being upside down. Yes I know. I screwed up, wasn't paying attention. Stop commenting because I'm just going to remove it. I've worked out a solution with my client and all is well. Please move on with your life and rivet count someone else please!
At least you're decals were alright mine just broke up when I dipped them in water
Yeah mine did too. Get some microscale decal solution. You can save decals sometimes. Doesn't work every time but does most times. This kit is from the 70's so decals are usually shot
They do sell decal saver solution to overcoat old decals. I've also heard a coat of Future floor finish can prevent the decals from falling apart.
Very nice. I like it.
Thank you! 😊
EXCRUCIATINGLY AWESOME YO!👍
KUDOS ON THE BUILD 💯
Thanks!
Commissioned?
Yes it just means an individual asked me to build it for them for a fee :)
@@alabamascalemodels5628 - You're a professional. And if you make a mistake, folks are going to comment.
@@scootergeorge7089 Yeah I know, just got tired of people pointing it out when I already know
Love these old BIG Monogram models. My B-58 and SR-71 are ok, but lost my B-1B and need another one. I took this B-29 kit, heavily scratch built it into a KB-50J. I was unhappy with a 1/48 C-130 I was building so used many pieces of this kit to adapt into KB-50 parts. The rudder extension insert, the wing hose reels, tail cone with hose reel etc. The jet engines came from drop tanks/turbine compressor from something else. Total redo of the 4 engines was hardest. The 2 outboard nacelles must be exstended to trailing edge and flap area enlarged. I Used 4 B-25 7 cylinder engine fronts into totally scratch built nacelles forward of the cowl flaps. Those took days but I was able to use bottom of B-29 cowling to fabricate oil cooler/turbo charger inlet under each R-4360. Reference drawings/books really important. Refueling hoses were just long pieces of sprue w/scratch built badmitton birdy recievers. It's hanging from the ceiling tanking 3 differents models of F-105...a B, a D, and an F.....also modified monogram kits. People really love to look at it "flying over" thier heads in the living room!
@@garyyoung4074 That sounds excellent. Way more work than my patience will allow :).
