Wow! That B-47 is impressive! I've been looking for a 1:48 B-47 for years... do you know where I could get a hold of one?

I love to see such great results with vacuform and multi-media kits! Great job on all. The last vacuum formed model I did was a 1/48th Falcon F-89--the weekend I took the finished model to the local hobby shop the manager informed me that Revell/Monogram was going to release a regular kit! :evil:

Keep up the great work!

Kalamazoo Kid, the B-47 is available from here:

http://www.sangereng.fsnet.co.uk/page33.html

Sanger keep threatening to do a 1/48 B-52 as well!

Darius's kits look great in the photos, but even better when you see them for real; also it's amazing how quickly he gets things done.

I haven't picked up any of my "kits on the go" for several months, when I do I might get one small part painted... My Catalina took me about a year...

You think that Stratojet looks good on the outside, you should see the scratchbuilt cockpit!

Check out the article from earlier this week over at http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com.

those vac formed kits are great.
Are you painting those from the inside, like you do an rc car?
