Out2gtcha Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Sucks to be on board of this "Super"fortress mhua ha ha haaaa Neat.....................I read an article written by Clint Johnson about his experience in Nam .............(same as the Discovery channels "dog fights" series)................even though it was Mig 17, he equated the canon fire from the Mig, similar to seeing fiery tennis balls being lobbed over his canopy. No such chance of out turning a Mig in a super fort though!!! Edited March 8, 2015 by Out2gtcha Dragon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Paul Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Mike, I know its going to be a great learning experience, but I also know you are going to turn the kit into a great model. Paul Dragon and Harold 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 @Martin - awesome motivational pics and thanks for the reference links! They'll be very helpful. @Paul - learning experience is it! First learning, the parts are fragile. Gotta keep my heavy handed thumbs in check! As for an update, I'm slow removing parts and cleaning them up. I should have some progress ready for posting here soon. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the first MiG-15s appeared, the B-29s days of free reign in the daytime were finished and it pretty much became obsolete overnight.

Hubert Boillot Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Yup, B-29s fell like flies to the MiGs till they started flying at night. When the first MiG-15s appeared, the B-29s days of free reign in the daytime were finished and it pretty much became obsolete overnight. And then, even at night, the B-29s proved fairly easy prey for the MiG-15s ... Things became more balanced when the MiG pilots were 'calmed down' thanks to .... .... the F-3D Skynight, would you believe it !

Dragon Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Greetings All, I was able to do some painting on the ejection seat last night. Overall, I'm happy with how it came out; although, I still need to work on the dry brushing technique: I'll tackle the cloth and PE seat belts next. They should add a nice touch to the seat. Thanks for checking in. Mike Girlscanplay2, EmperorKai and Harold 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
