lucgeenen666 Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share Posted March 30, 2021 Hello guys. Just some progress pictures. That is what happens when you are not careful enough.. Did my best to fix it. I guess she looks angry because I ruined her, but did my best Two more engines to detail, and some other last minute stuff. Hope to get it finnished this week. We'll see.

Uncarina Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Exquisite work, on a vast scale! From the turbochargers to the finish, she looks awesome. Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Excellent weathering work. Good to see that you did the exhausts the correct way, not from the cold air vents. Were the toothpicks around the nose art just to stabilize the brushwork? Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucgeenen666 Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 Thanx guys. Yes Matt. I was putting in the front cockpit window, but the roof wouldn't go down on the window. I first tried it with a clamp, wich caused the partial damage to the decal. I then repaired the decal first, and after that I used an elastic band to pull the roof onto the window and held the band off the paintwork by pushing two toothpicks between the fuselage and the elastic band. Yesterday and today I spent my time in detailing a third engine and I also constructed the propellers. Took no pictures because you all know how to detail an engine and how a propeller looks like. Maybe tomorrow, when they are finnished. Luc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucgeenen666 Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 Good evening everyone. Yep, It is that moment, I managed to finnish my B-17 D Day Doll. And as you are used from me, not a lot of words, but just the pictures. So, here we go. Well, that's the result of about five months of fitting, filling, sanding, scratch building, swearing, gluing, more cursing, foiling, faul language, painting, etc etc etc. In other words... modelling. And without sounding stuck up, I'm very satisfied with how she turned out. I hope you guys like it as well. Thanks to everyone who made the effort to take a look or leave a comment. I already started a new one, being the revell Polikarpov Rata. This one because it's a simple kit with a low parts count. Just to take a bit of 'distance' from the long and complex models. But that's another story. Hope you enjoy this one. Greetings from Belgium Luc Uncarina, MikeMaben, Fvdm and 19 others 20 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aircommando130 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 That turned out awesome! It really needs a parking spot base with a couple maintenance guys and a crewmember or two getting ready to go fly! I have the 32nd F to build. Hope it turns out half as nice as yours! Great job!

Uncarina Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Luc, you’ve brought the absolute best out of this kit! I also hope mine turns out half as well. Thanks for sharing your progress. Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
