Many thanks guys!
Greg, the decals all came from the Starship Modeler Store in the States. http://www.starshipmodeler.biz/shop/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=186

Boy that looks great!  It really comes together.  The turrets make it look great.

Cheers,

Defiantly looking like something from Gerry Anderson or Dan Dare !!

Dead right there, it bears a remarkable resemblance to Anastasia at the front end. All it needs now is a mono-sphere landing gear and a transparent roof!  ;D :lol:

<...> Also, what are these decals:
I need to get me some of those.

You need to pay attention to the details, man.  :wacko: Looking at the instructions of the upper left-hand hand sheet you'll be able to find an inverted reference to Starship Modeler in the last line.
Searching around on their homepage will get you a link to their store and NOSE ART AND CHEESECAKE DECALS:cheers:
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Well I think it's done. This is the Boeing B-29GS (Grand Slam) capable of carrying two 22,000lb Grand Slam earthquake bombs internally. Main targets in the Pacific Theatre were the Japanese underground jet aircraft factories and ship yards.


The coins are a US Quarter and a British Pound to show size.






Size comparison with a Minicraft Pan Am DC-4 (C-54)




And one flying low over my house, about to land on an old folks home across the road!


Hope it meets with your approval!
