Cool - that will be excellent on silver paper!!

She's comming along fine, easy but beautiful

This is a fairly simple model, no cockpit interieur, no wheel-housing, but I still make a transparent canopy, i think it looks better...

Good start, Billy. It will look nice next to your Do-X: two silver airplanes of different eras (although closer in time to each other than the XB-51 is to us today).

I like it when you use the "silver" paper! That's a great bird for that special treatment.

After one evening I've got myself a big metallic cigar...

Looks great so far Billy! I love the odd-ball look of this plane. Huge fuselage and a tiny little canopy :p

Looks very nice, hope you will not try to light it :D
How are you going to do the insignia? Paint the white color or leave it as silver?

The huge fuselage was needed to hold the 10,000 gerbil treadmill which actually powered the plane.
