Nearly 1 year after starting the build, my Little Miss Mischief finally stands in all her majesty!

Despite the terribly slow progress, due to the work being fractioned in countless mini-sessions (so much modeling, so little time! :roll: ), and a few frustrating moments, the effort I put in building this B-17 has been fully rewarded by the satisfaction it gave me both throughout and at the end of the job.

It's now time to finish this kit review!


PROS:

- New tooling (2010)
- Highly detailed interiors
- Cleverly engineered
- Great overall fitting
- Plenty of optional parts
- Finely printed decals

CONS:

- It may raise your expectations from other kits! :mrgreen:
- A few underdetailed/roughly molded parts
- Minor inaccuracies
- Transparent decals tend to become opaque


CONCLUSIONS

I definitely recommend this B-17G kit to any model builder with at least some experience, in order to take full advantage of the provided details. And if you feel like, there's room for further improvements! Just keep in mind that it will require a fair amount of time (to build) and space (to store and to display).

GREEN LIGHT!

Now, I think my next project will be something WAY simpler... Tongue
