I made the mistake of letting a supervisor I am friends with at work, who happens to be a pilot, decide my next project. Because of his knowledge of aircraft and that i like to build weird stuff, i expected him to come back with something singular and esoteric.
He did not.
Of course he chose the B-29. When i explained to him that is one of, if not the, biggest model in 1/48 plastic, he had the balls to ask me if there was bigger options. I flat out refused R/C and wooden models, so he “settled” on letting me build the old Monogram.
The scoundrel.
So here I am. I already own the big monogram kit, so…. might as well do it.
I spent the first day assembling my “homework” (reference books to read first) and all the aftermarket. From then on i have done basic construction.
I am annoyed that the photos betray how massive this project really is.
