I'm thrilled you folks have enjoyed the few pics I've posted so far. This one is only a semi-whif. Here's the venerable 1/60ish Glencoe Curtiss Condor done up as a Chinese bomber. References on this are few and far between. Most I've read show an odd blister gun postion above the cockpit, but I wanted to give it a more standard nose gun/bombardier look. I used the nose glazing from a 1/144 B-29. The rear turret is from a blister pack. Rigging is from my sewing box.

Niiice!  I like it.

That's really cool!  I admire all of your work on stringbags, you are a far braver soul than I.

I dunno about braver proditor, perhaps just more masochistic. I don't really enjoy rigging but I do love those early birds and they look naked without it. I'm glad you enjoyed it. My current project is a 1/144 bash of a Curtiss H-16 flying boat (using a leftover 1/72 pontoon) and the rigging on that one might make me certifiable. I attached a simple schematic below.

Will the mods allow me to say "masochistic" and "naked" in the same post?

Certifiable? As in, "certifiable lunatic"? Joking of course! That will be one great model...and nice work on the Curtiss BTW.
