fozzy Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) Hi Chaps OK so I have now changed to Postimage.org to host my photos....seems very quick and easy to use when you get used to it....a lot user friendly than Photo Bucket....so I can now have a go at posting my next post! The Bomb bay doors are now complete....here are some photos .... Edited July 1, 2017 by fozzy Guyman1, Dan Paxton and AlexM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzy Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 Here you see the brackets for the actuating rods and the door hinges.... all painted up..... Here is the Alu tape on the out side of the doors.............. Here are the doors attached (not permanently...as I have to place the actuating rods at a later stage) ....and now up on the display stand for the nose section...haven't got round to building one yet!!! So next up is the detail to be found behind the wing fillets....until then.... Thanks for looking in Fozzy Gazzas, Guyman1, Dan Paxton and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brahman104 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Great job Martin! Those doors are rather complex but it looks as though that didn't present a problem for you in the least! Cheers, Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Barry Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Wonderful, Martin. Have you used aluminum tape before? I like it quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzy Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 Cheers Craig! Wonderful, Martin. Have you used aluminum tape before? I like it quite a bit. Hi Jim.....Yes I started using Alu Tape on this project simply because I wanted a really realistic aluminum finish on my B17....instead of the green camouflage scheme that I would have just painted. In the future I would use the tape again for this type of finish...great stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Hey Martin, this is insane! Hard to tell that the interior is a scale model fozzy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fozzy Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 Hi everyoneHere is my next post....I am very close to the finishing post for this section of this mammoth task I have set my self of scratch building this B17G!...what on earth was I thinking?...but once I start something I just have to finish it! . What I am attempting to do is finish the Bomb bay before I have a break in UK for a few months...so that when I come back I will be able to start on the next section which will be the Radio room....but I mustn't get ahead of myself!:nah:So this post is all about the gubbings behind the wing fillets!....there's pipes and cables and I believe some sort of hydraulic pump thingy....well at least I think it is!. I have to say that this for me is when I am at my most content when model making...trying to make something look as real as I can out of bits of plastic and wire...oh the joys of scratch building!So here we have the Starboard side with the pump thingy!!!.......... (I hope that Postimage won't give me any hassle....unlike those b#$%a** at PB!) ...and here is the Port side..... Time now to apply paint and artists oils....port side Now for the Starboard side........... ...and for the overall effect I put it on the front sections display stand again Now then....all I have to do now is the detail on the Bulk head nearest the front section...Bulkhead number 5 and then a few pieces of tidying up and that's that for this phase....oh and a stand ! Best get on Oh BTW...Post image .org is simple simple and fast... Thanks for looking in Fozzy Dan Paxton, Gazzas, AlexM and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
