Finished Revell 1/48 B-29 Superfortress "Humpin Honey"

Hey guys, I’ve gotten a couple questions about how I’m gonna display the B-29. I thought she’d look good flyin’.

Looks cool with the ‘Tiny’ squadron in the back ground eh?

Just wanted to say thanks for all of your kind words, I apreciate it.

Wow that turned out great Tiny! I’m still working on the cockpit of mine LOL. (although the B-29 has taken a back seat over the past week to my Leopard A62 build)

[tup] Tiny, that is an excellent build. Your patience and attention to detail shows through. Thanks for sharing, and I agree about the antenna wire, a nice touch.

Cheers, [#toast]

Thanks Dave!

Crisp build… and quick too.

Great ceiling decoration!

All those wheels hanging out are such a drag though! [;)]

Excellent build, Now you need to build an addition to your garage to display it in.

Yah, no kidding lol. It’s gonna get out of hand when I get my B-17G and a B-52 Finnished.

Great build Tiny! (I must admit I was getting yours and The Feldmarschall’s build confused!

Great work!) Thanks for the history lesson also!

If I had one criticism…maybe you might put some Future on fingertips and run it down the antenna thread to seal the fine ‘hairs’. A wonderful build![tup][tup][tup]

What is Future? not familiar with it…

Future floor polish. Should be able to get it any grocery store, Rona, Home Hardware, Home Depot etc.

Future is a floor polish. Not sure what it’s called up north.

Hope this helps.

Great work Tiny, Where did you get the white ceiling hooks?

I think I got em’ at walmart or something. They are just simple peel and stick hooks. Thanks for the compliment!

Hey Higgy, are you gonna start a thread with your B-29? I wouldn’t mink keeping track of the progress. What do you think?

That turned out great…I followed your other thread when you were building her, and really enjoyed it.

Three weeks, eh? [bow]

I agree with the Future…Jagdwolf, my other half swears by it.

Looking forward to ‘future’ threads from you…I learned a lot following yours!

Really good looking Superfort! It’s a very nice tribute to the crew.

Seeing it hanging from the ceiling, I can just hear those four Pratt&Whitneys roaring on takeoff (oops, the copilot forgot to close the bomb bays [:)]).

I can’t believe you painted the canopy by hand. You must have a really steady hands.

Thanks man…the canopy was tricky, but there were nice raised lines to fill the paint in. If I went over the lines, I just cleaned it up with some paint thinner on a q-tip. I’m glad you liked my bird. Have a good one!
