nice conversion of the B29. Like the metal finish you fashioned. I finished my X-1 a few months agor.

Nice job on these three birds, Augie.
As Roland said, it is hardly visible that you painted them with a brush. And I think that Pledge too needs a good groundwork to look smooth. 👍

Thanks Glint 🙂 I have my ways with the brush as many here will say.

Spanjaard, tricky spots are..

Fit .. not great, not terrible. careful dry fitting will beat most of the issues.
Canopy to fuselage.. needs fettling carefully.
Wings... same, need careful fettling
Rest is fairly basic fit
