First steps of this quite "big" project have been taken.
Looking at this cockpit and the arrangement of the crew, Captain Kirk, Zulu, Chekov and Spock are likely to walk in..... 🙂

Thank you all guys, next pictures of the readily assembled "Flying Wing" will be added soon.
Indeed, Stephen, I have backed up my Alclad-reserve....

Also das Cockpit sieht dem der Enterprise wirklich verdammt ähnlich. Ob sich die Filmemacher da was von der XB-35 abgeschaut haben? Oder umgekehrt? Was war früher?
Wozu diente der Sitz in der Mitte? War der für den Kommandanten?
Fragen über Fragen - egal, ich bin dabei.

Thanks for your interest mates! The Flying Wing has taken its shape, next step will be seaming the glue lines.
Stefan, ich würde einmal vermuten, dass sogar die XB-35 mit dieser "Brücke" der Enterprise-Designern voraus gegangen ist. Kommt vielleicht auch alles aus einem gemeinsamen Empfinden der Zeit. Der Sitz in der Mitte hat ein Bordschütze mit seinem Periskop-Visier besetzt.

Sehr cooles und ungewöhnliches Projekt, da bin ich dabei! Magst Du mir sagen, womit Du die Zellenhälften verklebt hast? Tamiya Thin oder MEK? Sieht schön "verschweißt" aus!

Again, thank you very much for your kind comments!
Holger, verklebt wurde mit Tamiyas nach Zitrus "duftendem" Klebstoff, danach wurde die Verbindung mit Tamiya "Thin" nachgebessert- der fließt ja wunderbar in jede Lücke....

Thank you mates!
Little progress here: the right half of the "fuselage" is filled and sanded -and all the clear parts of been masked, some of them are glued in place.
Not long and I will be able and put first layer of Alclad on the surfaces.....!

Thank you Lex! Indeed, that beat is quite space consuming 🙂
On the first picture you can see the black priming for the Alclad- by now everything is covered with "White Aluminum". Several shades of metallic shades will follow, but not before I have repaired some now visible imperfections!

Always wanted one of these, or its jetpowered sister... one day. Nice work on this one!

Thank you both mates!
I have masked "The Wing" for applying some shades of Aluminum- that will be repeated two or three times. Alclad let shine every flaw and imperfection in a very undeniable way: I had to do some repair-work....

Be careful when removing the masks. I tore off my Alclad even though I had primed with Alclad glossblack primer.
On a different note, your bird is looking fine.

Thank you mates! Indeed, Alclad is somewhat difficult to handle- but I had experienced the best results with a base coat of gloss black of Gunzes Acrylic colors.
You can see "The Wing" with multi-shaded panels- some masking had to be done! 🙂- and the decals applied. After laying another coat of clear gloss on the decals, the surfaces will be finished.

Thank you both! Your words really are inspiration and motivation for me!
Indeed Bernhard, one of the hugest model I have build till now. My models are stored in self fabricated Styrofoam-boxes. There they have a nice dust-free, kid- and cat-proof place... and the (large) size doesn´t matter 🙂

Some more picture of the details: I added break lines to the wheel struts, improvised a cable loom crossing the fairing of the main cockpit strut and have finished the props: that means masking 32 propeller blades and applying on each two "micro"-decals....😉
The end is near.... 🙂

Thank you Christian- I have just reached the point, where I am satisfied enough to say: the XB-35 is finished.
And, by the way, I have measured from wingtip to wingtip: about 723mm will have to be displayed! 🙂
