Me too - a great looking aircraft. I;ve wanted a decent one for years.

Thanks Tom - something different. The Fairey Delta was a 1950's research aircraft used to look into delta wings and high-speed flight. It might have been turned into an interceptor but the idea was killed by the cuts that help destroy the British Aviation industry.

Nice ! Those propellers must be mighty big in 1/48 scale !

- Kari
According to Wiki, the B-29 props are 16 feet 7 inches in diameter, so in 1/48 that works out to a bit over 4 1/2 inches in scale size.

I haven't even thought about gathering up AM bits for my B-29. I probably should think about starting to gather some stuff.

I do love float planes. I don't care what it is or who built it and used it. If it floats and flies it super cool!

If you can't fix it with duct tape, you're not using enough duct tape.
