Silver Dollar Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Progress may be slow but the quality of the build is waaaaaaay high. No need to go any faster than you want. Beautiful work. Are those Eduard PE parts or did you make them yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderdriver Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Welcome to Our Nightmare Patrick You are off to a great start What kind of finish and markings are you planning? As you probably know their are several builds of the 17 but, all o them are different enough to make it interesting. I like the forward radio room floor modification......unique as compared to others(looks like a pic I have Nice) Keep posting Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patricksparks Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 Thank you for all the kind comments ! I am using the Eduard am stuff, figured there was enough work doing other fixes here and there. To Nigel, the only major fixes that I'm currently doing is as you can see is the Radio compartment, the floor in the Nose compartment, I have cut the section out directly in front of the Windsheild in line with the sides of the cockpit opening and cut across the last panel line before the Navigator's dome and have made a formed styrene piece with the "flatter" section in it(I used the original frame drawings for the shape that had been posted on LSP) I did the same re-sizing to the Cockpit floor that Nigel has done, which means I will have re-do some ribbing in the nose section. I have also added the "oversized" ribbing in the rear fuselage where the Ball turret mounts and around the Waist gunner's windows where the armor mounts below the windows. Thanks,Pat Mal_Belford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormer Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 This has got to be one of the best looking B-17 interiors I have seen so far. Nice detail with the door in the radiocompartment floor :-) It's some serious heatstain on those nose guns!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
