That's most of the parts built for the turret.....I have yet to scratch the gun sight /ammo boxes /oxygen supply/ radio connection...but that will be another  post.

 

Cheers for looking in smile.png

Hi to all!

Firstly a BIG thanks to all the comments you all have posted and a BIG thanks for following this long long build!! :)

Unfortunately I am going to be away from my workshop until the 3rd March as I am off to San Diego to visit family...but I'll be back to finish this build off once and for all!! ;)

 

When I return next month I will take some photos of the whole build as it looks at the moment!

 

But for now....here are a few photos of a little progress..................

Hi to every one!

I have been away longer than anticipated from this build due to family commitments but at long last I have returned to my workshop and of course this B17G build !

Where on earth had I got to?....Oh yes ...the Top Turret!

Other than scratching the barrels for the turret I think I have finished the top half !....I will have to build the platform at a later stage.

So without further to do here comes some photos of said turret! ;)

First couple of photo's are of the gun sight.....made from plastic card......

Next set of photos are of the sight in place and the turret almost completed..........
