Iain Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 OK - dug out again today - looking at the patterns for the beam position windows at the mo. Biggest thing I've noticed since putting her away is how much the fuselage joint has re-appeared as a subtle dip as the solvent has continued to evaporate away - good job I didn't spray it last year it would appear! Will try and post some updates over next week... Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 Yup - older pics on Photobucket I'm afraid - if I get a chance I'll move them to ImageShack and re-post... Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 As it's Memorial Day in the US I felt moved to do a little more on 'Bit O'Lace' today - some lower fuselage seams that has 'sunk' (solvent drying out over time) and the masters for the waist position windows. Will get some photos later in the week - but hoping some of the Photobucket images might be visible now?

josebagasteiz Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) Hi. I think it's a great idea to build the two B17 at the same time. I would like to see Cam's progress because I think he will do better than me when I built my Monogram B17 1/48 many years ago. A greeting.

Iain Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 Cam's B-17 is on hold - he's discovered tanks instead! A random comment on Facebook the other day caused me to dig out Bit O'Lace again - and some progress. Upper nose radius was fixed earlier - and still holding together nicely: Given that this will be a natural metal finish it's actually a good thing it's been put away for quite a while as there's been some 'sinkage along some of the joints over time - easy to fix: And the sheet styrene insert on the starboard fuselage had popped it's seam at the bottom - fixed with some super thin super glue and ready for sanding - again! And some progress with where I stopped - these will be patterns for vacuum forming new waist gun positions in clear PETG - still very early days in shaping: So she's out again - and I plan to make slow progress along with some other ongoing projects. Have fun... Iain LSP_Kevin, nmayhew, Victor K2 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Iain, Can you do me a favor and measure the diameter of the kit fuselage at bulkhead 6 (aft bulkhead in the radio room) and again at bulkhead 7 (the tailwheel bulkhead)? I'm interested in how it compares to the actual aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Good show Iain! Glad it appears the MoJo is returning a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
