There were three underside versions according to my refs, Carlos. No white, partial white, as I am doing, and a more complete white that covered most of the undersurfaces. And probably individual variations of all three.Stikpusher wrote: ↑Sun Jun 11, 2023 7:07 pm Looking real sharp John. I didn’t realize that the entire wing undersides were not painted in the anti flash white.

Re: 1/72 Hasegawa B-47E
Finally manned up and installed the flaps on the B-47 today. The 3d printed rib parts were way too fragile to hold the flaps, so I cut off the actuators and replaced them with brass rod. I think this will be much less likely to be shedding flaps down the road, if it could even have gotten to the display case without doing that.

Another one hit out of the park!

She's a big one... just as big as the old Monogram B-52 Stratofortress I did back in the 70s.

If you can't fix it with duct tape, you're not using enough duct tape.

Good to see that you're still working on this one John! Looks like you don't have too much farther to go.
