Hello my friends!

Aaron send me for final test a fantastic and long awaited Stratocruiser family. Include a comercial version 377, KC-97 USAF tanker and Pregnant Guppy, all is 1/76 scale, but I reduce for my friend 1/100 scale.

The model have a interesting build features, is a case of double deck feauture made with literally two fuselages and in the Guppy in three big sections.

In the first I made 377 and KC-97 fuselages... Not have problems at the moment , the align and fit is very good.

I made fuse in three sets rear made with cones, central fuse (two cilinders), and canopy section (the most complicated piec at the moment I build...)

Fuses at the moment...

Tonight I made a second fuse section...

Best regards!

Do you use the part attached glue tabs or do you create separate ones for you part to part attachment?

Your seams are as always amazing! Even in the glare of the dreaded MACRO setting on the camera!

Ummm if it's been asked before, forgive my sometimes affliction.............

Nice job Pericles. That is big even at 1/100 scale. I think some of yours models can go inside of that ones

Thank's my friends. John I use the tabs provide in the model. I start the glue for botton after I glue tab for tab, is a tedious but the best method for me.

Alcides, space is a problem, I believe made another display for pregnant guppy...

I'm excited about this one. Murph designed the KC-97 based on the one here at the museum where I work. I won't have to modify this one!

You're doing some amazing work here Pericles! I love the smooth seams.
