Hello guys. Hope y'all are fine. Work continues on the B52 Stratofortress here in Boeing Field Lagos, Nigeria. Landing gear has been added. A large chunk of fuselage has been completed. Looks rough now but will be smoothened and sanded.
Hello guys. Will post updates on my work soon. Meanwhile, for a long time I searched for the perfect adhesive that doesn't damage foam. The best I have found so far and which I use currently is Akfix 705 fast adhesive. Its really good. Just a little is required for a very strong bond. Adding too much may damage the foam a little though.

Hello guys. See attached pictures of progress made so far. The motors with pusher props have been installed. Did a taxi test and I was amazed, the speed of the airplane far exceeded what I imagined. Those pusher props pack quite a punch. Signing out from Boeing Field here in Lagos, Nigeria.
The downward wing-angle is gorgeous! Your filling and sanding seems to have come a long way too. You've got bracing you've got electronics. I am loving your build. I don't know enough to be sure about those little pushers, but others will chime in, or you'll find out on the maiden. Regardless, to my untrained eye she looks great! A little heavy and under powered, perhaps, but it's a great looking build.
Absolutely well done scratch build. Truly impressive what you managed to pull off. You've got us all in pins and needles waiting for the maiden flight! Thank you for that.
