Thanks gentlemen, there might be light at the end of the tunnel. Tony, rescue on the paint job, a little secret - it's not painted (well ok the white is) but not the silver !

Thats one BIG tunnel it must be coming down colin!! There wouldnt be much light with one of these either, one of the nicknames given to this aircraft by convair was ' magnesium overcast' ! cheers tony

Tunnel, thinking about it Tony, this aircraft has its own tunnel - an access tunnel / tube for the crew to transit the bomb bay and enter the crew rest area,

Just a bit more, 'blump' is sitting in the garden ready for what few decals it has. What a strange build. Today 'blump' sat on the garage floor, while I moved around working on it. Normally, the model does all the moving, not me !

Loving this colin , and the mental image of you walking round the model to work on it is brilliant! tony

 

[colin m]

Yes, it certainly a model that induces a bit of exercise. But, it's finished.............yeah...............pics are in the completed aircraft section.
