spacewolf Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I've been away quite a bit but any time I was on I came looking to see this thread, if nothing else. Just amazing work, well and truly bookmarked for ref and pleasure to read through. This is one of the best builds I've ever seen and I'd give a lot to see it in person. Well done Sir !! :bow: :bow: Vaughn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpierson Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 This has been the best scratchbuild I've ever seen! I really don't mean to criticize but there's a detail that strike me as a bit odd. In recovering the aircraft for the boneyard, the two things that would've been removed from the wreckage immediately would have been the .50 cals for safety and due to it's secrecy the Norden bombsight. as I said, I don't mean to be a killjoy, but it might be a point that judges might wonder about too. Otherwise, it's absolutely phenomenal! some B&W pics would be hard to disprove from actual photos from the time. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richdlc Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) thanks! I added some high quality images to Hyperscale, courtesy of AIR Modeller Mag as they are much better than mine - they can be found here: http://www.network54.com/Forum/47751/message/1414076233/ Edited November 4, 2014 by richdlc MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRutman Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I think from reading my past posts on your thread you already know I think this is absolutely brilliant so consider this a re-affirmation of those comments!! Awesome!! J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feroxeng Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I haven't followed the full story, but I have a real instance of a B-17 being recovered that I want illustrated artistically - but then seeing your stuff it occurs to me that a diorama or model might be better. YB-40 25732, a B-17F variant forced landed near Uig on the Isle of Lewis in May 1943. It was dismantled on site and roaded 40 miles over dirt roads, reassembled and flown out. This was a mammoth effort. But, although I have eye-witness accounts, there are no photographs. I've written an article on this for an aviation magazine, but illustrations of the actual event are obviously a problem. I'm not certain what I'm offering here, but the local museum could be interested in a diorama or model as well as my interest for my article. I'd like to make contact to see what might be possible.
