While I like to have a few builds on the go at once I do try to restrict the number of major kitbashing PSR hogs to one.
Not so our brave 63cpe.

This is looking fabulous Dave.  Can't wait for more.

[Tophe]

VERY good, yes!!

[NARSES2]

Oooooh, nice 

[loupgarou]

Impressive build! lookinf forward to see it completed. 

[tigercat]

it looks like big brother of the one in Indiana Jones 

[63cpe]

Thank you gentlemen! your comments are much appreciated!

Now update for today: Massive PSR on wings started (outer engines deleted) and basis for movable turrets (from airfix B-29) made. Also cutout bombaimers window, puttied the fuselage again and made fillets for wingroots.

She is big...

Not a great fan of flying wings but this looks really good.


I'd like to see that nose & pregnant belly on a full-length, or only slightly shortened B-36 fuselage!

Yebat!!  Nutty!!  Of course I dig it. 


As an aside, you could almost just paint the rims on those tires and they'd be like the weird SR-71 light colored ones.

You wan't weird coloured tyres ? Look at WWI ones. My favorites are the pink ones

Fascinating! And here I thought some of them WWI planes couldn't be any more gaudy. Of course, that's a large part of the appeal.

Yup down to the rubber manufacturing technology of the time and in the German/Austrian cases shortage of materials as the war dragged on.

If you wanted to add rudders, then may I suggest, placing them at the old engine locations?

[63cpe]

yeah, I'm still not sure about putting rudders on it. But if so, i'll sure put them over the former outer engines.
Also not sure about shortening the wings a bit.

Oooooh no! Don't even THINK about it! 

[63cpe]

hahaha, I knew you'd say that!
