Superfortress by Monogram

Album image #1
The cigarrete gives an idea of how large this kit is! The fuselaje is as long as an arm; the wingspan is (in a side-extended arm) from fingertip to opposite shoulder.
I had no space to handle that and had to paint wings and fuselage separately and mount at end

A blow with the airbrush and the propellers spin at full speed. 
 

Album image #3
I was required not to paint the interior but... In order to avoid tail-sitting without external support (as provided by the kit) I filled any space ahead of the main undercarriage with different size fishing sinkers, including the turret 'cup', first row of bombs in the bay, and even in each engine cowling, placed like a revolver.

Years later I played a little with PS to create a 'What if the reds won the Spanish Civil War' for a SIG forum.
