Here is what it looks like with the base colour on...Tomek...your right...much better now .....of course I have yet to pick out individual colours for different parts........ 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.

fozzy Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 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..........
