| Just awsome, I aspire to build like this in my twilight years. Other larger Guillows builds I have seen on this site are outstanding and could be used as a stand in for movies, but there are many mods to the kit for them to look that great. The thing I really like about your pops build, is it is clean and looks like a balsa model built straight from the box and plans. Someday I will save my money and try to buy one on eBay, hopefully it will look almost as good as your dads. |

| Superb 29'er you've got there. What paint did you use for the overall aluminum body? It is usually very hard to achieve a consistent flow but you seemed to have nailed it. Kudos again. |

| Excellent craftsmanship. A beautifully done work of 3D art! What we old farts lack in computer skills is more than compensated by our other talents. JFB!! |

The Boeing B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay, reassembled after 43 years, is displayed at the National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Northern Virginia. This image was taken prior to the faciliy opening to the public on Dec. 15, 2003. |

| I could not resist commenting on this. Everything about this build is perfect - and as we all know, silver shows every imperfection. Stunning. |

My Dad and his latest beauty. A rare Guillows B29 model. It really turned out beautifully. A real work of art! |

Here's my Dad, proudly displaying his finished B29 model. 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! |

Here's a close up of the detailed flight deck. The amount of time spent on the "little details" really makes this a beautiful model. Getting those engine cowlings to fit just perfect really took a lot of time and patience! |

Here's the Guillows B29 kit that my 75yo father just completed. He's not very computer savy, so when he sent me some pictures, I decided to create a hanger for him here at the Virtual Aerodrome to show off his beautiful B29. He's a perfectionist (like all of you), and it really shows in the fit and finish of this model. Thanks to all of the master builders at the Virtual Aerodrome. He really enjoys seeing all your web site. The pictures and information which you provided really helped him with this build (and he's even started learning how to use a computer as a result!) |
