Revell 1/72 B17-G Flying Fortress.

That is looking very nice Ron.

I like langy71's idea.

Thanks for the nice comments on the model and prop. question feedback. Split down many ways, I see. Also, I don't know what " With a slight caveat" is, so I couldn't try and model one of those!

Only one way to sort it and as we all know, women are always right!

Without showing her the list, I asked the present Mrs. Ron what options she would like for the port engines.

After a brief scratch at her warts, she replied "Inner complete. Outer, just engine and prop." So, who am I to argue? Well done to Pete!


Props done. Red and silver spinners.
I'll glue these on, attach the port wing and that's nearly it.







Thanks for replying to the prop. question and thanks also to those who stuck with this rather long winded build.

Thanks Ian.
It's been a long, head scratching build, but hey ho, who needs an easy life? ME!

[The Smythe Meister]

Just had a catch up with this Ron,
Really like the nose art,sets it off a treat
A great model to look at with the exposed,(and really nicely painted I may add ), interior details.
Excellent stuff mate,
Andy

It's been a pleasure mate!

I'm not one to ruffle the feathers of the good Lady......I'll stick with her suggestion.

 

[Allen Dewire]

Not a long-winded build Ron......It's a great build and something really different!!! Hey, as long as you are having fun, that's all that matters. I also see your annual bath has done wonders for your Mojo too!!! An exposed outer motor will definitely give it character as they are too nice to cover up...

Prost
Allen

Mrs Ron has excellent taste! In models, at least.
Pete

Ron,
I echo Allen's post.

 

[spanner570]

Funny and nice comments abound. Great stuff!
Nice to read that apart from me, someone else is frightened of me wife... And he's out of harms way in the US of A!


You put the right wing on, the left wing on, stuck on, stuck on, they're both stuck on.
You do the Hokey Cokey and you turn around, the build is finished now!

Bum, bum, bum, Oh! Do the Hokey Cokey.....etc, etc.






Thanks for all the ace suggestions, observations, compliments and humorous contents of your posts during this marathon. All much appreciated.

I'll post some pickies in 'Completed' asap.

Thanks again.
Ron

 

[langy71]
