Thanks a lot everyone................

 

Amazing work !! When you are done with it why dont you just keep going - you know you want to. A 1/20 B-17 isn't THAT big after all :-)

 

Thomas......it is big!. :o  (the B17)....I might carry on with the Fuselage sections however ....but I think I would need a rest first as there are other projects that I have been promising my self to build.... ;)

So as you can make out that its just a bit of copper wire and scrap plastic......doesnt look too bad at the moment but will look better when painted....
