Still not to sure as what to do with the original engine mount on the kit, cover it with a H2S radome off a lanc' or mount a drop tank on it as a parachute housing.

I'm going to fit the undercarriage after painting otherwise the large doors will make it hard to paint the engine nacelles

I'm thinking of doing another with four buried engines, two either side of the bomb bay with leading edge intakes or maybe one with a pusher prop off a pogo

Not the best of pic's but it'll give you some idea of what see looks like.
I'll got the upper turret and wheels to add, plus another coat of varnish.

That looks fantastic! I love those B-36 engines.

The 555 kit is a really enjoyable build. RoG did a great job with most of their Luft 46 kits (The B&V P.194 is another fun build).
