Airbourne refilling?

Yeah, with the Hughes Spruce Goose as the tanker!

When the DC-3 was used for topdressing they made giant conveyor belts to load them with fertiliser. Some not-great photos of the apparatus here: http://rnzaf.proboards.com/thread/12310/ag-dak-photos?page=3

Pity they forgot to coat the wings & tail section.

I do actually have a wing! Well...most of it...

"Seeded" and weathered the new airfield....48 inches by 48 inches        - 1/72 Belvedere Gunship for scale.  

 

The girl needs some color....

Replaced the Strategic Air Command "Stars and Bars" with a more suitable color.  





Will be adding some more trim color.  Then on to the spray bars.

Despite having one I think i'm just beginning to appreciate the size of this thing.
If there was a B-36 SIG, at a show they'd need most of the tables...

I've seen 3 on a normal sized show table before, most of the other exhibits were placed around their wings, plenty of room

There was one on a stand at the MK show and it had a Sabre standing ON one of its wings!

The base ( at 4 foot square it's probably got it's own zip ) looks great ! It looks huge...until you put the B-36 on it !

Finished!   Nearly killed me....





Spray nozzles from 20MM anti aircraft guns- liberated from a 1/700 Sky Wave LST.

   wow that's BIG
but looking well smart an all

Truly stunning, a work of great imagination and skill. Love the B-36 and it's a joy to see an alternate vision for her .

Thank you!   a few more photos:

Skyhawk and Sea Fury for scale- all 1/72 scale.  



The DH88 propellor is used as an impeller to supply pump pressure to get the insecticide out to the massive spray bars.





Near the end of the build, the nose wheels sat about a half inch off the ground.  I dare not cut the main strut on the man gear, but I cut off the front boggie (2 front tires, their axle and support strut) of each main gear so the aircraft sat on the rear tires and the nose gear came down.  Re-glued the front wheels on the mains a tad higher.

Gen Lemay is rolling over in his grave right now. 

BTW can I ask for an take-out order of In-N-Out Burgers? Haven't had one in two years.
