C-46 Commando

Update:

Getting closer. I've spent hours doing the riveting with what reference I have (which is not much). Anyway, given the scale, it doesn't matter too much.

Weathering needs to be completed, misc details, antennaes, astrodome, etc. I'll post again when complete.

Does anyone have a link or a picture of a good JSDAF bird? The one I have for the moment has extra equipment and I don't want to bother with that for the moment.

It really does look like a whale.

F**k my donkey! Where do you get that stuff, John? (I know about airliners.net, but the B&W pics are great).

Yeah, the wingspan was wider than that of a B-17. It's bigger than it looks.

Does that make you a sort of scavenger?

[JMSmith]

of the highest order,

spend most my time scavenging, just don't put them in order, so i end up with thousands of images all jumbled up
