1/144 Minicraft conversion B-50

September 2, 2013 · in Aviation · · 11 · 2.6K

This is a B-50 created from a B-29a and a Minicraft C-97. Both are in scale.

I started by cutting the Vertical tail off both kits. I then cut out the gunners cabin from the and placed it in the C-97's vertical fin. Next was gluing the newly made tail back on the B-29 fuselage then gluing the C-97's wing on to the B-29 fuselage and blending it to the fuselage.
