    Progress will be slow but i'm hoping to have 60-70% done by Telford 2019.. for my display. Work is so busy at the moment, finding time to do anything else is hard. But it's a nice break from putting together Amodel kits that for sure!

    So, working out what I needed to do to make the Bat Plane, I've just gone and bought a E/F kit to go along side the G so I can have two built up... but the G is also being built as a fire bomber just another smart scheme. Less work needed to do, but still need to get rid of the turret points etc... it's on the bench, just... such a big kit! I'm not painting anything inside that won't be seen as it's just a waste of my time, so I will only be doing the cockpit and nose sections....

    Signing up to watch...
  4. Radders
    Anything Russian, interwar.... i'd then have my first WnW kit.

    To be fair, there is no bad Privateer, be it civil or military.... ALL look great!

    If I wasn't so into fire bombers, I'd have to build this beauty. Maybe one for you... PB4Y-2B carrying ASM-N-2 Bat glide bombs.
  7. Radders
    Iain, what Privateer do you want to build? Any particular one?
  8. Radders
    I'd get one for sure..... no iffs or buts, just take my money.

    Would be more than happy to share ideas but I can't see me joining the GB as I can't commit fully at the moment, work has gone mentally busy and as it's our own business all my times goes into that... plus having the B-17 on the bench really takes up a lot of room. I'm hoping that enlarging a Matchbox kit, and the Koster stuff I have is going to be my way forward with this..... unless Titan below brings out a conversion... Sell this as a conversion and you'll have that $1000 in no time...

    I want to build one Iain, currently working on a HK B-17 into a fire bomber and want to do the same for a Privateer. Would be amazing having both on the Fire Bomber table at SMW. I also have a built Koster vac converted B-24 that I shall be finishing as a fire bomber, maybe the drawings from that might help also..?

    I have finally bought another 1/32nd kit! Something I have been trying to find for ages.... - Shenyang FT-6 Trumpeter 1/32nd.

    Under the Red Star without a doubt, gutted it's not had many votes though... but looking at the one leading, I can build something for that.

    This is back on the bench, I never posted about it but after painting the cockpit, somehow I 'lost' a side wall... which really P'd me off! Nearly a year on, and honestly don't ask me how.. I found the said sidewall in my camera bag, hidden within a crease at the bottom... and i'm baffled how it got there as my camera bag don't go into my garage, and my camera bag is very rarely opened fully to show the bottom (it's like a giant rucksack camera bag...) So finding that the other day, I got it all back out, and got cracking.... fuselage should all be butted up very soon.. photos to follow!

    What a lovely model, well done!
  15. Radders
    Would of loved a UB, but I *need* this conversion.
  16. Radders
    What's the problems with the FLY kit? Always fancied one being a Luftwaffe Jet..
  17. Radders
    That SEAT!!!!! Sorry, I'm only just catching up..... WOW!! Peter, you are insanely good at this. Regardless of it being a larger scale, your work is flawless.

    Thanks all for the replies, I've been away all week and my minds been drifiting at other B-17's, (fire bombers still) so the Bat Plane isn't final, but will have a good think as the build progresses.. I've plenty to get on with before I can make up my mind. I have done some work on it while I've been away, I just haven't had time to get any decent photos which I shall hopefully tonight. Thanks for looking in!

    And update from today..... departure for the display validation over RAF Cosford and arrival back into RAF Shawbury.
  20. Radders
    Thanks everyone.... can't wait to get cracking... found out early this morning that i'm going away next week now instead of my b'day week, so no updates for a bit sadly! I did think about this, not to worried about the waist gun positions, but the stinger tail I had thought about drawing around the Revell B-17F parts and upscaling, then scratch building my own... but I now wonder if I can buy the tail parts... Food for thought. Cheers mate for the input!

    I have been after this B-17G since it got released, and now finally the time has come. I would never build it as a bomber, as good and how great they look war torn... it's 'just not me'. I love Fire Bombers, people know me to love Russian stuff and I do, but Fire Bombers are my second passion. Enter the HKM B-17G, and the bat plane, N66573. Photo/Artwork by Boeing (obviously) And the boxart & contents. It's going to be a long road, so bare with me... I have a vacform Tracker on the bench, Two Flankers (48th), a P-3, DC-6 & CL-215 in 1/72nd. ......But boy i'm excited.

    Seen today..... Video (make sure you click on the HD option...) and a photo, luckily and surprisingly, we had 4 passes from this MiG today on it's arrival into RAF Shawbury.
  23. Radders
    I have one of these, but sadly some of the frame work is broke in several places... which is really annoying given how fragile it is... look forward to seeing one built anyway!
  24. Radders
    Being the Russian/Soviet addict that I am, I have lots of Russian kits in 1/144th, 1/72nd, 1/48th and 1/32nd... however, my 1/32nd kits are only two seaters, so the Su-25UB, MiG-21UM, Su-30MKK etc.... I would love single seaters, but space would become an issue... I would love the Su-33 and Su-57 however, i'd break my rule for them! I'm currently building two 1/48th Su-30MKK's at the moment, once I have some photos I'll get a WIP thread up...

    Looks to me the wings are together and will be sold like that? You can see clear resin between the joins and i'm guessing it's not been thrown together like that for the photos, like my 1/72nd Modelsvit An-124 fuselage and wings... same thing, minimal clean up and a bit of car filler. The only difference being is the 124 has scribed detail and the C-47/DC-3 has raised... so a little bit of extra work, but, as others have said, it's the nature of the beast. Enjoy it.....
