Robert,

Yes, but this is WhiffWorld so you could get the tyres to deflate automatically as the leg folded into the bulged lower u/c bay and then re-inflate as the gear went back down again..................

I like it.. this is great fodder for this type of thing.

Awaiting the paint stage.

Thanks for sharing a great project

B-49B Night Bomber of the USAAF, 1947.  The first stealthy bomber used on night missions over Europe.  It was virtually invisible to Axis ground and nightfighter radars. 









It's finished, it looks good, and I have no idea where I'm going to put this monster.

I like this one! When I saw the pin-up and the night scheme, I immediately thought of the hard-driving beat of the song "Black Betty" by Ram Jam...."Whoa, Black Betty (bam-a-lam)"

I really like this one Ed 

I had an XB-35 hanging from the ceiling for the longest time before our house move, it sort of disappeared once it was amongst the other models.

The paint scheme is inspired, but the placement of the "nose" art is icing on the cake!

Well done, Ed!!!

Terrific. Often wondered where nose art should go on "Flying Wing" types. You have answered the unasked question in the best possible way

This is very precious. Very good work.

[Sisko]

That is all kinds of awesome!!!

You are one brave modeler, Ed.  And this looks the part.  Wow.   

[Aussie747]

Lovely job Ed!  I like the colours and a differnt slant on this aircraft. I was going to do mine in a boring SAC type scheme!

You could go for a Arc Light type scheme.

The nmf on top/black on bottom is sublime.  And I have to agree with the others--the nose art is perfecto!

Thanks, all.  I appreciate the comments.

Don't know how I missed this one, lovely work Ed!
