More of my history

Well this is on request by Gundam Beginner(a link to his blog is on the side of this page). In a conversation with him on his blog where I mentioned a big plamo model I built years ago, which he was interested in seeing, and who am I to not let everyone see them. All these models are built years ago, over 6 years old. They certainly aren't the cleanest since I just took them of the shelf and photographed them. I did have a lot more models in the past but with moving 6 years ago and a very big cleaning of my room a few months ago.

So now to start with the pictures of those models, first the B52, I don't remember which scale it is but its a huge plane to begin with, I believe this plane is meant to be in service for atleast 30 to 50 more years if memory serves right. That would mean it becomes the longest plane type in service. It was developed for carrying nuclear bombs in the cold war. Nowadays it is used for carpet bombing, this is the model I built as will be very visible with the bombs hanging on the model. Another adjustment made to this model are the 3 wires, those are just 3 wires for a special rail system to hang paintings on the wall, due to space limitations those were added so it could hang from a hook on the ceiling.
