great job…is this the one you got a week and a half ago…absolutely amazing
Tom Cleaver said on October 13, 2019
It is. The model is not difficult.
Josh Patterson said on October 14, 2019
Can’t wait to try it. I hope they do an E/F s they did in the bigger scale. I’m really not looking forward to building my Revell version. (Never thought that about Monogram’s G!)
Tom Cleaver said on October 14, 2019
That’s definitely on the list. The different top turrets are already on the clear sprue.
Louis Gardner said on October 13, 2019
That’s it ??? One picture and one sentence ??
Come on Tom, it’s done and you can copy and paste what you have already written. We would like to see more of it.
Thanks
Tom Cleaver said on October 13, 2019
Not till it’s published at Modeling Madness. I’ve worked with Scott now for 22 years and my reputation is based on that work. The agreement I have with him is first publication there. I hope you can understand. You get more photos here when I republish it.
Louis Gardner said on October 13, 2019
Understood. Thanks for the speedy reply……………
George Henderson said on October 14, 2019
I’ve always wondered about that. Modeling Madness is the first site I turn to every morning and where I check out builds that I intend on doing
Tom Cleaver said on October 14, 2019
Nice to know, George. Thanks.

A week and a half to build and paint this beauty?? Jesus…the least you could have done was presenting us with a shady model 😉 More seriously, the kit looks fantastic but like Louis said, we really want to see more of it Tom.
Tom Cleaver said on October 14, 2019
Thursday evening! 🙂

Man, Speed and quality…..Really, really nice, Tom. I’ll be looking for more here and on MM.
Craig Abrahamson said on October 14, 2019
Looks like a beauty all right….guess I’ll have to wait for more pics, though. 🙁
I don’t peruse MM, Hyper-fail or any other forums but this one. And once I reach 100,000 “karma points” (which won’t be long now), I shall not be visiting this one, either – just my own self-imposed jumping off point – I don’t build any more, so…..
Josh Patterson said on October 14, 2019
Leaving at 100,000 karma points? That’s like David Ogden’s character in Star Trek TNG saying he has to die (as do all his people) on his 69th birthday! Well, if you have to go, let me say thanks for being the first to friend me Craig, you’ll be missed (building or not)! You were a great introduction to a nice friendly site! (Remember when you friended me so fast I thought you were the creator of iModeler?)

Damn, that’s one nice looking Flying Fortress! Excellent work as always.
dale travis said on October 14, 2019
Really sharp work Tom! Looking forward to the article.
Haslam Yeoman said on October 14, 2019
That’s one flash looking fortress Tom. I am really looking forward to seeing the rest of the photos. A week and a half! I couldn’t have done that if I had 8 arms.
Tolga ULGUR said on October 14, 2019
Oh. Very nice indeed.
Greg Kittinger said on October 14, 2019
I can’t believe anyone could build a model in that short a period of time, especially to looks as nicely as this does! I’m looking forward to being able to ogle the details!
Tom Cleaver said on October 14, 2019
Creative unemployment (at the moment) helps. 🙂
George R Blair Jr said on October 14, 2019
You built this in a week? It takes longer than that for the paint to dry on my models. Great looking build. Now all you need to do is build a hangar for it in your living room and you will be all set.
Bill Koppos said on October 15, 2019
pro·lif·ic
/prəˈlifik/
adjective: prolific
(of an artist, author, or composer) producing many works.
“he was a prolific composer of operas”
An extremely prolific producer of plastic prettiness Mr. Thomas is.
Scott and Tom been at it a long time now.
Ross Paton said on May 4, 2020
Is it better than the Monogram?
Tom Cleaver said on May 4, 2020
Depends on what you want.
