I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

No, there's one more prop to do, a transitional one - the B-36. It could have the extra jets out at the tips.

Then he can do the B-47 and B-52.  ;D

Cheers for the awesome response everyone! And a Whiffie nomination too, I'm stunned! Hard to keep a big grin off my face!  ;D
I'm going to try taking some better pics then she's heading to the Boeing hanger for conversion into the jet assisted version used in the Korean War!
Seems a shame to take her apart after she turned out so nice but it's got to be done! Wonder if can paint the red bar onto the national markings to make them into USAF Star and Bars?

Noticed I forgot to show a close up of the nose art (standard Minicraft decals).


And not too great on the port side (hopefully this is a bit better!).


JoeP, I really wanted to do this to a B-36 and a B-47 but I keep getting outbid on ebay and they seem to be very rare in the model shops. Got some B-50's and B-52's though! With the recent economic problems prices of kits from outside the UK are extortionate!

Many thanks again for the compliments and the nomination. :cheers:
