| Dale1416 | Guillows Series 2000 - B-29 Super Fortress | Reference | 17-Apr-10 14:06 |  | | Views : 2060 | | A reprint of an old snapshot taken in the mid 1940's with the first B-29 I built. This was a stick and tissue construction with solid balsa engines. I believe it was a "Cleveland" kit. In those days, most of the model airplanes I built were "Comet" kits. |

After seeing his B29 displayed on the "Virtual Aerodrome", he is filled with a new excitment for the site. He just loves reading your coments and sharing his finished models with everyone. |

Months and months of painstaking work...especially since none of the parts were laser cut! :-) He has built balsa wood models since he was just a kid. But he's really been going at a fast and furious pace during retirement! |
