No one else will want one, but I want a few, so here we go! Our obsession:
The wood bits coming together . . .
Out rigger ailerons . . .
Next the filling and details . . .
Pour me a Boeing 306! Twilght Zone . . .

From the images, looks like another amazing project by you David! Cant wait to see the result.
Thanks

Uh oh, Clipper's going off the deep end again! This should be good.

Oh Man! Wonderful...
During the total eclipse of the site . . . a bit of time in the TWZone
Now for a Whiter shade of Pale . . .
Sadly the drugs are wearing off . . .
Oh man! I've missed this!
What happens when Dave inspires with his madness...
The planes are done, but the stats and firing arcs need work.
The drawings, markings and camo inspiration came from this site: www.secretprojects.co.uk - Boeing Flying Wings
PS: Dave, if you need the plane art for cut and paste paint jobs, PM me.

Oh man! Did I already told you that I've missed this?
Very nice! Thanks again Mike!
Dave,
The firing arcs are all single .50 cals, no? One nose, one tail, one dorsal and one ventral? And I'm thinking a crew of: two pilots; bombardier/nose gunner; flight engineer/dorsal gunner; ventral gunner; and tail gunner.

Best I can find: It was a mix of 0.50 and 0.30 -- I'm guessing 0.50 up top and in back, and 0.30 forward and under, in keeping with actual designs.Originally Posted by OldGuy59
Strange block of rubber on the work bench this morning!
After the Mystery Package Run this is rather boring!
Mmmmm! Boeing 306 waffles! Coming right up!
Weren't you cleaning a carpet, young man?!
Just letting the pre-wash soak in . . .
I see. Do carry on then.
Funny the resin casting clothing is the same as the carpet shampoo clothing . . .
David that is awsome
Carrying on, with the other part of the set:
The Number 2 and 3 arcs are a bit messy. Suggestions for those?
Also, we don't have the weight of this thing to figure out damage. Early 1936 might mean that there wasn't much armor or self-sealing tanks. I'm open to suggestions on these things, too.
And more suggestions for unit(s)?

You are getting better and better, Mike!!
And the Management Card, which should be OK:

Good card Mike!
Home from work for a few days, the elves have been busy . . .
Where did I put those cockades?
These are really beautiful!
The card is superb Mike.
Of course Dave's aircraft are as immaculate as usual.

Nice work, David.
I wish we had some data to give them stats.

Karl,
I was going to blend some stats together, using the Boeing 315 and serious SWAG.

First of the fleet!
Running out of words . . .
David can you make mine the same as in the above photes. Cannot wait to use them so blood cool!
In silver then? No problem! I am going to paint a few in camo for my air force : )David can you make mine the same as in the above photes. Cannot wait to use them so blood cool!
Another well executed project Dave.
Very smart indeed.

Beautiful!!! Just beautiful, Dave.
thats cool!
Very nice management card Mike.And the Management Card, which should be OK:
Any chance of one for my JU 88 when you have the time?
Rob.
"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
Hey, it works
Another fun trio!
Now for the cool camo!
Oh my god David!!! Thats so nice!! Cool camo?!?!? Thats isn't cool enough for you?!?! Kidding. If you can make another one it would be great.
Thanks
Nick
Dave,
Did you want my B306 camo pattern in a .png or .jpg file? Or would you like something more standard?
Like this, without shading:
Or would you want it in parts?

Oooooooo! This is cool! I can make it into a big sticker . . . thanks!
All the plane and management cards (one set each for camo and NMF) are updated in my WWII Allied Oddities album: Link
The damage is completely fictional, but based loosely on the B315 bomber and divided in half-ish. At this point (1936), I don't think it would have too much armor, nor self-sealing fuel tanks. Without the extended fuselage and empennage, and with some weight savings in the wing design, I think this should be a good guestimate (29 Damage). We could argue more, if we assume redundant construction and the armor. etc.. A few missions in combat would result in upgrades, and possibly bigger engines...
Oh, and I copied Dave's NMF version with the big black lines:

Superb as usual Dave.Another fun trio!
Now for the cool camo!
Rob.
"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
You deserve a reward for this! This trio has such clean lines. Fantastic, Dave.
Since Mike did the camo view so cool I just had to make them into stickers . . .
Printed his image on the trusty label paper to scale . . .
I cut the sticker into 6 parts, 2 wings, 2 part fuselage and 2 ailerons. And might as well do it twice . . .
Ready to detail and add more windows . . .
Excellent Dave, glad you have recovered.
The master is back!
Rob.
"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
Excellent once again.
Awesome David!!!
Someone is trying to compete with Clipper!

Note the scale!

Next cab off the rank? The B-32 saw limited service in 1945.
Clipper's Boeing is way better than this one!
It saw action on European or Pacific theater? This plane drawed my attention.Next cab off the rank? The B-32 saw limited service in 1945.
