Back to start the year with our first aircraft kit, taking a look at Academy’s 1/144th scale B-47

A rather nice kit of the B-47 in 1/144. Have an original Hobbycraft in my stash along with the newer Academy reissue.
The B-47 was such a “sleek” looking aircraft. I have the old Hasegawa 1/72 kit in the stash but have avoided it due to the natural metal finish.

I built that one years ago. It was my first effort at foiling a NMF. Turned out pretty well for a first time. The prong on the underside is a metal rod I inserted so that I could display it on a crude stand I cut out of some leftover wood.
Many years later, I acquired and built the 1/72 Hasegawa kit, but on that one I used AK Interactive XTreme Metal paint.
The last photo shows the Academy kit on the crude stand along with the larger Hasegawa build.
