Urban Gardini
Oh yeah! Finaly. Now where do I put it 'til I've got room to build it?

Urban Gardini
Yeah, too bad there isn't a modellin' shop in the area to put it in...

Dave Flitton
Put it in the living room!!! Great conversation starter!!

Wilfried Bogaerts

Wilfried Bogaerts

Urban Gardini

She Who Must Be Obeyed

Wilfried Bogaerts

Wilfried Bogaerts
I love this forum...

Wilfried Bogaerts
Thx for creating Tim! Will buy you a drink next WE

Tim Vereecke
yihaa, free drink! 🙂

Holger Kranich
Do´h, shit, what a big beast! You will definately need that metallandinggear! 🙂

Urban Gardini
Yeah! I forsee that the bird will be heavy so it's better to be safe than sorry when the day comes.

Holger Kranich
Definately! Do you think you have to add weight in the nose? That will increase the weight enormously...

Urban Gardini
Yes, the kit is provided with a clear styrene rod to put under the aft part of the bird so I'm gonna need to add weight as I don't like that kind of solution. But there's plenty of room as I plan to close the bomb bay, the provided skyflash bombs looks ridiculous in that bomb bay.

Burkhard D
Not sure how many bottles of Alclad this beast is going to take, probably going to exceed what I paid for the kit $$$ 🙂

Holger Kranich
2 Liters of alclad an some lead-nuggets, its huge and expensive this beast!

Urban Gardini
I don't have any Alclad at all but I've got Modelmasters buffable Metalizer range. But this one will take some paint...

Wilfried Bogaerts
@Tim, missed you this WE, you know how it goes, kitchen work, judging, taking pics from the contest etc etc but the offer still counts.

Visit our club stand at Willebroek and we'll have a drink there 🙂

Tim Vereecke
I was desperately seeking you 🙂 ... we'll see each other in Willebroek

Mark Snel
peacemaker with all those bombs??! 😉

Urban Gardini
Yeah! Peace by intimidation...

Holger Kranich
Peace through superior firepower, typical american!😉 Like their mashinegunners always say: Whilst shooting, spray and pray!🙂

Dave Flitton
C'mon...the Air Force motto is "Peace is our profession" then under your breath say "...but war is our hobby"

Holger Kranich
Right Dave! War is hell but the sound is great!

Bill Gilman
Regarding the copious quantities of Alclad required, the B-36 had a large portion of its skin made from magnesium, which was painted with an aluminum paint. It's not entirely correct to think that the airframe was "natural metal." The aluminum paint does not have the same sheen as bare aluminum. It looks like, well, paint. You can find some good pictures on-line of the B-36 from the USAF Museum or the one at Pima to get a good idea of what it looks like.

Martin
After you've built this, you can put the plane in your house and live in the box!

Holger Kranich
Haha, Martin, that joke was good!!! 🙂

Urban Gardini
:-D

Luc B
🙂

Urban Gardini
Holger, how can you be sure that Martin was jokin'?

Holger Kranich
I just hope it, Urban, i just hope...

Holger Kranich
And as i am informed , swedisch houses are not the smallest...

Urban Gardini
True that but the box in question isn't the smallest either...

Holger Kranich
Good idea Ecurie!
Urban, maybe you can make a garage from the box and rent it to tourists!🙂
