After over a year of threatening, I have eventually started the Monogram B36.

Initial painting started in the cockpit, some ways to go though.

Internals painted, cleared and a bit wash applied.

A novel arrangement for the spinners but it seems to work well.

These sit inside the engine housing which will enable the plane to be painted without the props being in place.

A quick dry fit does not reveal any major fit issues but going to have to visit storage methinks.

Cool!

Magnesium overcast.

Have one in the stash, but you don't see many built so looking forward to this.

Are you going to use rattle cans for the final finish, as it's a damn big area to do with brushes?

Having built one loooooong ago may I suggest beefing up the top fuselage joint as even with the wing box fitted my one still cracked.

Makes me want to get mine out of the stash. Must. Resist.

One of these crashed not too far away from here, back in the day, complete with A-bomb. Fortunately, remote enough not to bother too many people.

Remember seeing a program about that on Discover it was 44-92075 I believe en route to practice dropping on nuke on 'Frisco.

Forgot you were in British Columbia.
