Ah well, I will just have to stick to my 72nd one

Re: Monogram 1/72 B-36
Just won it
...Now can anyone give me advice on the best way of painting it when I get it!!!!!!!

Re: Monogram 1/72 B-36
I would of thought spraying it with alclad would be an idea, thats what I will be doing mine with when I eventualy get round to doing it 

Re: Monogram 1/72 B-36
Hi shaun...tell me more.....what colour and where's the best place to get it!!!
Re: Monogram 1/72 B-36
Well were shall I beggin?
You can get alclad from most of the shops in our 'traders of merit' thread but I can recomend graham over at Relish http://www.relishmodels.co.uk/alclad-ii-1.html
There are quite a few different shades but I have come across a technique recently were you spray most of the plane with the gloss black (most alclads have to have a gloss black undercoat) but leave a few panels unpainted. this will make them slightly duller and gives a nice effect. I would use polished aluminium or just aluminium.

Alcad would look fantastic but would cost a small fortune!
Saw a few of these at Hendon for £25.00 at the weekend.

Re: Monogram 1/72 B-36
Well....lets just say I think I under estimated the size of this kit
Its massive!!! Even my wife was impressed....with the kit that is
.I really have not got the room for it so sorry to say it looks like i wasted £30 on this one so if anyone wants to make an offer feel free as it will be going back on flea bay.


Re: Monogram 1/72 B-36
I was going to make an offer but I have just checked and all I found was a button and some fluff
Go on build it, it can always go out in the garden.
I have some low viz (Vulcan) decals that would look good on an anti flash white B-36

Re: Monogram 1/72 B-36
Its sad when someone buys a kit and they then find they cant build it due to size, space or time. If no one has it off you buy next month I will have it off you as I will find it a good home.
I would preffer to see you build it though
