LSP_K2 Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Now admittedly this looks kind of lame, but I changed methods, now I'll begin gloss coat, washes, pastels, etc. The final result should look lots better, (I hope). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurzacher Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I don't think your progress being lame, just you taking your time and keep having fun with this one.I always liked this B-17 kit despite being old and having raised panel lines. But more important, at least to me, these kits have some kind of character. As has the original B-17. A wonderful aircraft.Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Exhaust collector and supercharger will be a much darker rust brown color when I'm through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilB Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Nice streaking on the upper wing Kev, looks subtle but still bold enough for a good contrast. Great progress and so fast too! Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) Work now resumes on the Fortress for my friend. I chose to redo the port wing superchargers, as I didn't like the color they were before at all. A little masking and repainting, and I'll be good to go for the next phase.
