Great job, Lee! I bet there are very few people who have completed the Grand Tour of Monogram 1/48 bombers. I noticed you didn't inclue the Monogram B-24J in your list of completions: Is that one next? :-)
Cheers,
Lee G.

That really is a large (in both senses) and impressive accomplishment to have built them all!
The B-58 is just great, nice to read the full story. Congrats to Lee!
Thanks, guys!
Lee G, are you a model nerd or what? Only such a person would recognize that minor gap in the series. Sheesh -- I can't get away with anything!

I wanted to know if you built the "speculative" Revell B-2...
Outstanding model Lee. How many bottles of Alclad did that model absorb? Amazing work.
Matt -- it was the snap-tite B-2 in 1/144, so it is pretty accurate. I think you are remembering the Testors F-19, which was pure fantasy and also happens to be the best-selling aircraft model kit of all time, with over 750,000 copies sold.
Bill -- Two bottles of Alclad Aluminum were consumed. :) I also pretty a healthy dent in my bottles of Duraluminum, Dark Aluminum, and Jet Exhaust.
Thanks for the kind words, guys.

He might be refereeing to the 1/72 kit.

Ryan's correct, that was the one I was referring to!
I've built the 1/72 F-19; it was neat for a fantasy item. I wonder if they count both the 1/48 & 1/72 in that overall figure?
