Did some more assembly, painted the wheels. Outrigger wheels still need the second side rubber to be done, so not in the photo. Hasegawa did a nice job on the wheel details. Bits of Aves EpoxySculpt were needed on all the pylons.

Love this one! You’ve got some great work going on here and it’s exciting to see all the resin and 3-D printed additions. :grin:

Here's the current state of the B-47. I've been working on a bunch of other stuff while doing this one because lots of patience is needed on it. Lots of intersections that need careful attention. Not much of the work seems picture worthy, but I seem to have reached a milestone with it today, it's now ready for some aluminum type paint. The anti-flash white areas and the engine exhausts have been painted and masked, and the vacuform canopy has been fitted, attached, and masked. The canopy framing and sealant will be done with decals.

I always liked the B-47, just can never find any kits. Looks like you are really going the extra mile on this one with all that added detail work. It is coming along nicely and will be a jewel in the collection for sure. Can't wait for the next update. :shoutout:

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

And here is the first of the paint. I put the first coat of Alclad ALC101 on the B-47 today, my usual very thin and dry coat. I rubbed in aluminum powder on the bottom surfaces, and then sprayed another very thin coat just to "fix" the powder, then turned it over and put the first coat on the upper surfaces. There are some places that need attention on the top before I go further, but not as much as I thought I would find. There is no undercoat except where there was white overspray from the anti-flash white on the bottom., the ALC 101 is on the bare plastic, which will work for me on the very nice and hard Hasegawa silver plastic.
