Wings - Inner build is quite complicated and should bare the wings weight. There are 3 * 3mm "strips" that are holding the 2 wings. It goes thought the Body part 9 which is also built to hold it.

Here I had a surprise. Discovered that there is an inner wing box to hold the wing wheel. Surprise because there was no sign of it on the inner wing box that hold the wing - and the wheel box.

Tail - all together 45Cm high

You SIR, are doing a damned fine job. Keep up the great work.

It just keeps getting bigger and bigger. In a very good way.

lost the bet with the child - she passed 1.48m before I could finish the model.
Didn't do the wheels and bombs, didn't glue it all together as I see it cant stand the weight of its own.

put it together, took it apart and back to the storage

Enjoy

It is not easy building something as large as this B-52. I'm sure there were many structural challenges. And at 1/33 scale you really need to reinforce the wings with wood or aluminium rods so they do not sag. Even consider removable wings for transport.

Well done and I'm sure you are proud now that your daughter is getting bigger every day.

Nice to see this beast finished!!
A huge challenge indeed, but you managed to face it.

I wonder if some very strong magnets would help to keep the wings in place.

WOW, she's huge. Very nice job, a lot of dedication.

A very large and very impressive model.

Where can you put such a large model?.....Or you're going to hang it on the ceiling.

Thanks all ,
My growing child was a reinforcement to finish this beast
Also right about the structure - its too big. the body itself as planned does not hold
I dissembled it and put it in a closet
Thx
