If and when I ever get around to doing a 1:48 Fortress, I'll still opt for Master .50s, even though that may cost a small fortune. They're just too drop dead gorgeous not to use, at least as far as I am concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the detail you are putting in, it looks so good . . . I believe HK scaled down their 32nd B17 to the 48th and improved the area in front of the cockpit glazing . . . I, and many others, are hoping they will scale down their 32nd Lancaster in the same way. I look forward to seeing more of your build, the nearest I got to B17 is when I was in the 1988 film 'Memphsis Belle, filmed near me at RAF Binbrook, England. Carry on the good work Bert best regards Ian Thans Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Just thought of the fact that the kit is 1/3 of the Cost for all the stuf in Bought for this building. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
