Carmel Attard won Model of the Month for November with an old-school conversion of the Airfix B-29 using an Airmodel Vac conversion kit. This is modelling the way it used to be before the days of resin and photo-etch.

Thanks!

Carmel,
An absolutely impressive build. Certainly not for the neophyte, as you had to create your own molds for some metal castings. The overall finish is just superb, especially the NMF with its varied toned & weathered panels.

My only question is that in your conclusion, you said that the conversion took just 2 1/2 weeks. Was that to make the major changes to the fuselage and wings, or for the entire build?

That is correct, it took me two and a half weeks to complete the conversion totally. That was during the summer time. After summer went back to our winter home at Mosta where I could do all the airbrush work which took another week of paintwork. I do not take the compressor with me to summer house at St Paul's Bay.
