Okay, so it's a long story...
I bought it at _LEAST_ 10 years ago. The old Airmodel B-57F kit...
I acquired a built up Canberra for parts, namely the landing gear and misc parts. It was unusable. I also acquired a Testors B-57G for parts, I used a majority of it!
It's taken me since May to finish this bastage! but I've finally got- ten it done! I used the cockpit, tail horizontal fins, engine turbine inlet fans, exhausts, and landing gear and bays. I've added anten- nae, tubes, vents, intakes, dielectric panels, and engine exhausts from various kits including an Italeri F-5F.
After about a half year's patience and a tube of Squadron white putty, I've finally gotten the $%^ dammned thing together!
I have no access to alt.binaries.* so I can't post any photos, but after having the right outer wing portion fall off a total of three times, I'm happy with what I have. I have ceased to mask the entire model to fix one more f-up! Mainly because I'm tired of seeing the metalizer spray cans leaping off of my local hobby shop's shelves to satiate my quest for the perfect mirror finish. (BTW: after about four coats, Metallizer doesn't do shit.)
I plan to enter it in the Black Hills Modelers' sho in Rapid City, SD, two weeks from now. the decals have f'd it up more than i thought! Is there something about decal glues that Metallizer has something against them!?! There's one set of decals that I used to part everything together, I think it was from the Monogram B-36 kit, that the glue destroyed the metallizer finish. Has anyone else had this problem?
