Papa695s 1/48 Revell B17.

I see the RAF Regiment is already guarding the plane with their Scorpion

The B-17 is looking good, I didn’t realise you were going to paint it as RAF Coastal Command.

Yes I just didn’t want to paint it as Memphis Belle, and I really liked this colour scheme.

I’ve got a book about Coastal Command, published in about 1943, IIRC. Interesting reading, but I don’t remember if it had anything about B-17s in it.

 

[papa 695]

Started work on the turbochargers.

 

[papa 695]

Got them painted.

 

[papa 695]

I’ve now got all the decals on, and fitted the undercarriage.

Great job Ian, it's good to see a B17 in something other than olive drab or silver

 

[yak face]

Looking sweet Ian , cheers tony

 

[papa 695]

Got a little bit more done to this.

 

[Andy T]

Looking good Ian. I don't know how you manage to juggle so many builds at once.

 

[Lee Drennen]

Looks awesome Ian. The preshade the Camo breakup very nice you can’t hide nothing on this Big palette.

 

[flyjoe180]

That's looking great Ian, looks good in the Coastal scheme

 

[papa 695]

As you can see on some of the photos, most of the gun barrels have been knocked off during the building process. So I got myself some more.

That's coming on beautifully Ian. Sorry for getting behind on this.
