May 3, 2010: Big Boy, Big Toy
Brit, Tony Nijhuis, like a zillion other people, built himself a model airplane.
But his 1/7th model of a B-50 bomber is so big... how big is it? Quote:
 It's not only capable of carrying mini-bombs, it's sneaky quiet.  Quote:
I wonder if having to assemble a crew, and get government permission, takes some of the spontaneity from playing with this toy?  link

Building it spanned 2 years, a departure from the norm. I'd rudder it didn't take so long.
