Awesome machine you're building there, it will look fantastic when done :th:

I looked into doing one of these a while ago but it's just too big, nowhere to give it a home. I did see though there can be some fit issues when the interior is all built and the fuselage won't close properly, so I recommend many trial fittings as you go so you can keep ahead of any trouble.

Yeah, the trick is to go slow and walk away from the bench when patience runs out... ;)

I do most of the stuff on weekends where I have had a good nights sleep before - love to get up early in the morning when the rest of the family is still sleeping, walk the dog, get some coffee and sit down at the bench.

Great job done sofar; this is a fantastic thread. The B-29 will be awesome when it's completed! :thumb2:
