Martin B-51 Master

[PR19_Kit]

Only me, Martin fitted the fin-top fairing early in the machine's life.

I can't find the lovely RAF B-51 that someone did here recently (the search engine would make a good chocolate fireguard sometimes!  ) but he had one on there too, and mentioned it the backstory.

Logan did the profiles.  I must have missed the other build.

Thanks Chris, that's the one. A lovely build, really looks the part.

Mine will be somewhat different. 

Here it is with WINGS (OOB length too....) and a canopy!



One of the things everyone knows about the XB-51 is that the wings have a LOT of anhedral, and it has to be right so that the outriggers touch the ground as well as the main gear pairs. But the instructions don't mention ANYthing about the anhedral, and show all sorts of diagrams of how it should look EXCEPT a head-on view!   

I can see lots of fiddling and faffing about when it comes time to fit the outriggers.

Looking the part Kit.
