B-47E Stratojet - pics

The design basis for all those airliners we now buzz around in. The latest Boeing still uses the same 35 degree sweep angle of this beauty.

Beautiful finish! Your BMF is fantastic! Nicely done! [8D] [tup] [tup]

WOW! Beautiful NMF, and overall great job on the most graceful bomber to ever grace the skies! [tup]

Nice work with the Alclad. That’s a very fine looking model.

Wonderful rendition! I just love the B-47’s. All 1500 that were built. Does that mean I’m a philanderer?

Mike,

Thats beautiful work. I hope you dont min d, I saved a couple of your pics for reference when I take on the 1/72 Hasegawa version. You can be very proud of this one.[bow]

That’s a beautiful looking B-47, seeing that might move mine up on the next to be built list.

Another fantastic 1/144 model. You and Wingnut have some Cahooners. The Strato looks superb. 10 out of 10.

Looks pretty sharp!

Fade to Black…

Outstanding !

Lord knows I could use some advice on how you did that.

I dread metallic finishes, as I never seem to get the surface blemishes completely out and I have a terrible time hiding what little putty (I use Squadron Green/White Stuff) I use under the metallic finish. I have put aside my Hasegawa B-47, my AMT YB-49, etc. because I want to be sure I can do a decent job on the finish before I tackle them.

sweeettttttttttttt!!!

Very nice work! Great job on the finish- looks like the real thing. [:)]

That’s a pic I took at the 8th AF Museum in Savanah, GA.
