Looking good Pete. Judging by that one engine pod, you're going to easily end up with fifty pounds of cardstock shaped like a B-52! At least you won't have to put weight in the nose to get it to sit on all fours.....

Even without knowing it was a B-52D that you were building, I could tell that was the beginning of a B-52D that you were building.

Looking good. 8v)

holy crap pete!
this looks like a project of epic proportions!
but the sheer size of it would keep me going!
should look awesome mounted flat on any wall...just tell the wife its "wall art and thats that!"

if the Tate Museum can hang a Harrier from the roof and lay a Jaguar in the Foyer, then...

of an exacto knife and garden shears instead of scissors.... Ron

Right Guys and Gals here's where i am at... I have built all the nacelle internal structures YIPPEE ! I cut out and placed the glue tabs on the backs of the first set of skins. I have managed to attach one of the skins but have had to stop Pompholyx has flared up again, so now i have to wait for this round of it to clear before i can continue - if not, the paper and card will get ruined through the leaks in the palms and fingers of my hands.... and i aint gonna ruin this baby. Will be back as soon as possible guys.

Thank you very much - you know how much this plane means to me, and this is very frustrating. Thanks again my friend.
