Whats the 411 on that B-17F gents?

Saw it in all its glory today!

 

Boy, the B17 is a big lump when built in 1/32..

 

I'd need to build an extension to house it, if I had one!

It's a genuine problem, isn't it? I REALLY want one, but a model with a 1-meter wingspan eats up a lot of space.

 

The display shelves in my shop are 15.5" deep; fine for 1/32 fighters but multi-engine stuff won't work. I guess each big bird will need its own custom shelf, but the room is only 10' x 10'. A couple of bombers and the elbow room will start getting scarce...

 

Aw, hell, I'm getting one anyway. I'll figure it out when I'm forced to.

I've looked all over for the built dimensions. Can't find them anywhere. How big does this one build out at? Seriously considering picking one up just because I can always sell it later if I change my mind.

 

EDIT: Just found it. About a 40" wingspan, 28" in length.

We are gonna need a whole sh*tload of OD and NG.  Do they sell ANA613 or Dark Olive Drab 41 in gallon cans? 

 

Yes, they do:

Have used a lot of it on 1:1 - great paint. Sprays beautifully. Aerosol cans give an excellent finish, too.

 

Will give it a try on a 1/32 and see what happens.

 

Cheers,
