It will be great once finished ;o)

BTW did you thought to 'personalize' bombs ? I mean to paint on them some messages wrote by the ground crews. It will add colors and it is a nice detail ;o)
I ofently did it on my models: I painted shark months...

Here a pic which might give you some inspiration.



Cheers,

Ted

I didn't think about it, but I'm not doing that on this model... it should have been done earlier, now the risk of messing something up is too great. :roll: Plus, these bombs will be only partially visible when the finished bird will sit on the shelf.

Nevertheless, I like the idea, Ted, thanks for the hint! Next time I'm doing a model with a big fat bomb hangin' from its rack, I'll try and "personalize" it a bit! 8)

That's a high compliment, DM, for which I thank you. I'll do my best to keep up so that the final result will deserve it!

Yes Serpiko, DM said it right !!!

I have seen many models in my life too, I have read a lot of modelling magazines, and what you are building here is an extra-top-high-level-B17!!! 8) 8) 8) 8)

This is as great as professionals' works, a top master scale !!!

You have to seriously think about the contest in which you could present it !! I can't wait to see the final results !!!!

Keep it up Mate ;o)

Hi Serpiko,

Nice update, as usual ;o)

BTW for the ammo box, couldn't you build something in scratch or stretched plastic to figure the belts ?

Take a look at this,a lot of details there (ie you can see where the ammo box is) ;o)

And the fuselage dome riveted look is impressive !

Not much room there... i thought about it, but not sure I can get a decent result.

Re: 1/72 B-17G Revell + kit review - WIP - LeBigTed - 09.07.2013

Well it looks good, pretty good ;o)

There are some good details too (ie reservoir in the gear bay)

You know Serpiko, the good point: I really want to buy this model and to try to do my best on it. The bad point: with my little baby, no time at all. I have to finish a 1/48 Mig15 from Tamiya (I bought super details kits from Aire: engine details, guns and gunbay, pit and flaps details), I have a 1/72 Hurricane (a good kit that I have already done 2 times) and a 1/48 F4-U Birdcage from Tamyia (a very good one, I already have done, not so much to add on it), and to finish 2 1/35 Us soldiers (Afghan series) but definitely no time... That is why I always enjoy to read your reviews waiting impatiently to be back ;o)

Take care, and keep up on the great great stuff ;o)

Ted ;o)
