Thanks, everyone. More soon, also working on an XF-92, A-4B, and F-16A.

Watched this the other day. The B-47 was a stunning design.

 

[jeaton01]

Yeah, that was a great movie.

Finally manned up and installed the flaps on the B-47 today. The 3d printed rib parts were way too fragile to hold the flaps, so I cut off the actuators and replaced them with brass rod. I think this will be much less likely to be shedding flaps down the road, if it could even have gotten to the display case without doing that.

Very very cool. I've wanted to build one of these for ever, but I want to do one with the Orenda Iroquois strapped to the side. Canada is the only country to use a B-47 outside of the States and called it a CL-52. From what I understand the one Iroquois supported the whole aircraft when they shut down the othr engines and still accelerated. Unfortunately it was given back slightly bent after the government shut down the arrow project.

Would have been cool if we sold you guys the engines. Imagine 2 of those on the aft end and all the wing engines gone. That would look neat.

I don't think our Military Industrial Complex liked the idea of sharing things.

Finally got to a finish with this one. Not a quick build but just one of those subjects that has to be in my collection. I made decal strips to frame the canopy, the rest is just detail work. I used Microscale decals for the markings which worked very well.

Nifty Stratojet model, John!
