Phartycr0c Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 This build was actually finished the week before IPMS nationals at Telford. It subsequently made it to the LSP display table but due to extensive building work taking place at Phartycr0c Towers, I have not been able to take any decent photographs, even these are a poor show ith half my living room in shot. Anyhow, following the purchase of a MENG 163 and a discussion around replicating the box art the plan was to produce an in flight B17 diorama including the 163, To that end I obtained a crew and proceeded to produce a rubbish in progress thread. Well this is the result, a little photo intensive i know but there is no way I could get the whole thing in with any success so you have lots of bits.

Phartycr0c Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 Yepp! This is such a nicely finished build! Figures look great, as does the two aircraft! Are there electric motors driving the props? :goodjob: w Thanks for the feedback folks. Yep three out of the four props are powered ( one feathered) and there is an led in the waist gunners compartment but not being an electronics expert after a while, as the battery voltage drops it goes out. Rethink on the electrics methinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
