TimW Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 No, no--I haven't given up. Just working a lot more slowly than I had planned, what with prep for the wargaming convention this weekend, life, the universe, etc. Here are some shots of the front office. And an earlier one.

TimW Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Pics soon. Working on the cockpit and scratch-building some "clutter" for the area where the entry hatch is. Stay tuned. Tim W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moldmkr78 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 While doing research for my 2nd bomber, I found these pics of the unrestored Memphis Belle taken in 1979. You can find lots of good pics showing what was painted and what wasn't http://aircraftwalkaround.hobbyvista.com/b-17_mbelle/b-17_mbelle.htm For mine, I am painting the nose, cockpit and radio room, the bomb bay and waist will be NMF with random ribs and whatnot painted. I just cannot see them sending out planes without painted cockpits or front nose, I would think the glare would be horrible from the unpainted aluminum. mark31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just cannot see them sending out planes without painted cockpits or front nose, I would think the glare would be horrible from the unpainted aluminum. Only the cockpit was painted. All other areas remained in natural metal. The E models and early Fs had an olive green sound proofing in the nose and radio room, but this more often than not removed once in service.
