  4. The Production Line

    Posted · Edited by wedfactory

    Ok, I have now gone off the deep end. I am going to scratch build the bomb bays in the B-2 model. I have cut out the kit bomb bay and made templates for the four main bay walls. I still have to cut open 2 of the bomb bay doors as the kit only came with one bay open.

    I used the kit box to make cardboard templates of the walls so I now have to finish the kit as I have no to place to store it any longer.

    I was given the call sign "wedfactory" at another forum. I started at that forum in 2008 and I was building models in mass. The guys gave me a hard time about running a factory. So I earned the wedfactory name there. Over the last several years my production slowed to a trickle. Recently the modeling bug has hit me again and the "factory floor" is ramping back up.

     

    Now that B-2, you are correct, nothing good is written about the kit anywhere. Basically you build the kit for three reasons, 1: you don't know any better, 2: you have nothing else in your stash, and 3: you are in dire need of being committed. Unfortunately for me 1 and 2 do not apply.

  16. The Haul, or what you've recently bought.

    I just "won" the Trumpeter 1/72 Tu-160 and Tu-16 on eBay, my Russian bomber fleet is now complete (Said in a Darth Vader voice). I already owned Tu-95 and Tu-22M. Who knows when i'll get started on these, need to start saving for Blizzcon

    Hold on there my young Padawan. You cannot claim to be complete without a Tu-22, and don't go claiming that you are covered with the Tu-22M, they are not the same plane, despite what those pesky Russkies may say. You too must deal with the old Esci kit, Hahahahaha

     

    pshhhhh they're practically the same thing! i've done my research... close enough for government work :-D :gold-plane:

    The only thing similar is the name.

     

     

    I do have the TU-16 done as well

    The 72 scale Tu-95 is in my stash right next to the B-52, B-1 and B-2 all in 72 scale as well.

     

    Don't have the TU-160 or Bounder kits (there is a 72 Bounder but OOP and fiberglass fuselage). There is also a M-4 bomber model the is OOP (also with a figerglass fuselage)

     

    and Anigrand has the Sukhoi T-4MS, the losing design to the TU-160.
