Just trying out my new camera.  Subject is made up (mainly) of two academy 1/144 B-29 kits and some 1/72 F-16 parts.

Dragon,

That is the poo-poo (with an english accent) right there!!! I'd seen the Rutanised Fort, but the Superfort is the bomb!!!

Next  question is how i can justify doing it in 72d scale... ebay here i come.

Well Done!!

Not that it doesn't stand out on the model shelf, but I do get lots of people shaking their heads when they see it at model comptetitions. B)

I notice that you didn't bother painting the wingtip navigation light, or flattening the tires. And I'm certain that the gun barrels haven't been drilled out, nor have...

OH, BUGGER IT! I can't keep up the pretense, I am truly dumbstrick.

Wow awesome stuff dragon! That's gotta be the most imaginative approach to a B-29 I've seen yet! Aren't those 1/144 Minicraft B-29s great?

Fantasic work! Two thumbs up!
