    WIP on the B36 Peacemaker by HPH

    I won't bore you with the contents of the box, I know someone has already done a decent review of this kit.

    The first part of the build I've took on is cutting out the various bits on the wing for the grills and landing gear bay.



    I've also released the resin clear canopy part from the resin block, this was difficult and time consuming, I didn't want to damage the part.

    Today I managed to get most of the resin pieces into one of the wings.





    Next I'll be looking at setting the landing gear bay in place, getting some interior US green (MRP) in there and capping off with the resin cover.

    That is a monster! I remember I thought it was a joke when the first rumours of releasing this kit appeared.

    Really looking forward to this build, Kev (@kevlarmorley). It should be a real test of your multi-media building skills.

    This is a build that I will definitely follow. The B-36 is one of my favourite SAC bombers. This is good motivation to get my old Monogram B-36 onto the to build list.
