Yes this is a bonkers post . I spotted a B52 kit on eBay that had some bits missing so was cheaper than normal . I decided to pick this up and use it as scatter as a wrecked plane . It turned up with less missing than I thought so I decided to build it up as full as I can which would keep the paint job consistent. I recently found some scenarios for when the B52’s were based in Thailand with commando raids . So I have the wheels to be able to add on now .
This is a massive 1/72nd kit - and I thought it was actually a pretty poorly designed . But for what I want it for it was fine .
It’s a 32 in ch wingspan , 27 inches long and 6 inches high - blooming big
For now it left whole.
Next up is some more set dressing for the village .
Pendraken do a great set of animals in various scales - I picked up 4 packs of chickens . So 40 chickens
So a very random week on the paint table!
Chickened out with 1/72 Dave……..😀 but then you would need a new house. I have a Junkers 52 waiting to be built from Christmas 🤔
ReplyDeleteToo right !! It was also cost - for something with limited usage .picking up the damaged kit was useful !
DeleteYup you're nuts. I owned one of these back in my teens. It was huge. My Mum used to go crazy!
ReplyDeleteI agree I must be mad! ! I used to covet the big box Monogram one they had in the model,shop - I could never have afforded it !
DeleteGreat work all round Dave, you nutter!
