What if the B-29 wasn't the basis for the Tu-4........

Me-264, and it has VERY long wings!  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ;D ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I think at least one of the Engineers reverse-engineering it must have had a hat!   ;D

Looks like 2p pieces are just the right diameter to fit inside the front behind the cockpit to add weight to try and stop tall sitting. Instructions say it needs 60g - I reckon 18p should do it, and I'll add some extra weight inside the engine cowlings as well in a belt and braces approach ;D

It's the 1/72 Special hobby kit. Ostensibly its the Me-264 V1 but [heresy] the wings are too long for the V1  and should be for the V2 version. but it can't be a V2 because the engines are for the V1 :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: Hence building it as an alternative Tu-4

Special Hobby did it as the V2 with BMW801s later.

More progress:


The F-84 gives a sense of big the aircraft is, especially how long those wings are!
