Monogram 1/48 B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay (COMPLETED)

[Pantherman]

I am calling this build done. It was a good kit with your typical Revell/Monogram fit issues but overall I'm happy with it.
It's a large plane and I had to work on fuselage and wings separately. I am sticking to "small" planes for a little while.

That picture really hit me.

I've stood next to the PBY before and thought it was large.

Very nice build! Really impressed with the front canopy. I don't think I could have done that as clean as you did.

 

[TimM63]

Thank you all for the kind words. There were some issues with the build I had to overcome. I am very happy by how it turned out and I even more happy it's done. HA!!

That's a novel way to display large aircraft Hard to tell how big they really are, until you spot the Tamiya bottles … (Those are 10 ml ones, right?)

Yes, 10ml bottles. The PBY is 1/72. The B-24 and the B-29 are 1/48.
I have a B-25, B-17, and a JU-88A-14 that will eventually join the bomber wall. All 1/48
