The Wooksta!

If you do consider a B-29, have a rethink on trying rattle cans.  Buy some cheap and nasty silver spray paint from Poundland or B&M and practice on an old model used as a mule.
If and when you feel confident, upgrade to the generic Aluminium from The Range.

I tried hand painting a B-29 many years back and hated the results.  Spraying is the best route for something that size.

I may well do when I actually start one of the B-29's or derivatives I have in the stash, just not yet although I could always camouflage an RAF one as some of the real ones did have black undersides.

I made a mistake  :banghead:

I misread the instructions on the detail sets that Lee gifted to me and ordered the wrong version of Fw 190  :banghead:

And of course, my link to Models For Sale didn't work  :banghead:

Managed to get there and resaved the link to their page so it's not all bad. Thankfully the eduard kits are the kind of price I like  :thumbsup: 

I'm not going to throw away/sell the kit I did buy by mistake, it has some nice weapon options so I will build it OOB if I ever get around to it.
