Uncarina Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 Looking great Tom! Moving Right Along :-) Any thought to opening up the ball turret to see the insides? I have some ideas if you're interested... - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA Dennis, thanks! I honestly hadn't thought about opening this—but I wouldn't rule it out! Any insights about this would be great.

Uncarina Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 Looks awesome Tom . It looks like you will finish that beast before I could roll out my small Viper. Did you use the kit O2 tanks or aftermarket items? Cheers Kai Kai, thanks! I really like what you've been doing with this AND the Viper build! I contemplated using the Master Details tanks, but only used the small ones since the kit doesn't provide these and I didnt't see enough of a difference with the larger ones and the kit counterparts. Maybe for the F build! Cheers, Tom Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 With the tanks in place. The Eduard set provided the bracket for the small tank. Cheers, Tom patricksparks, Martinnfb, Model_Monkey and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircommando130 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Wow Tom...must have been some heavy "flak" on that last mission! Seat cushions look like they need changing! Great looking flight deck! Cheers....Ron Martinnfb and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncarina Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 Thanks guys! Ron, you are probably correct—I might need to go back over the seats to clean up the Flory wash a little. Cheers, Tom Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) Would anyone have a period reference photo of the rear cockpit bulkhead (part L3)? I'd like to figure out the colors for part M26 that attaches to this. Also, was the instrument panel coaming black or dark dull green? Thanks!

Uncarina Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 Progress. I made some educated guesses for the colors. Cheers, Tom LSP_Kevin, Jim Barry, Model_Monkey and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Awesome!! I love your Cockpit. I hate you...because I can`t get away from your B-17 WIP topic and during the last few days I was thinking more and more about my B-17 and the following steps instead of keeping an eye on my Viper build. This B-17 topic is pure fun to watch. Ok Kai...don`t go back to the B-17 before you finish the Viper!!! ...don`t go back to the B-17 before you finish the Viper!!! Oh hey look...Tom posted another B-17 image...hahaha. Again...this is pure fun to watch. Cheers Kai Martinnfb and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Tom Absolutely brilliant work on the front office - just amazing attention to detail. Just finished watching Twelve O'Clock High and now your build - all that is missing is General Savage strapped into the left seat.

Your support is very appreciated. I really need to see that movie; right now I'm reading “Masters of the Air†by Donald Miller, and I highly recommend it.

Empire Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Kai, come back, you know you want to! Seriously, your input and the work you've put in to your build have been a big inspiration for me, so thank you! Cheers, tom Hahaha...yes, I want to go back to the 17. But I have to be stronge. I have to finish the Viper first. But anyway...if I would start my B-17 again, I would never hold your speed. So within a few days our B-17 build would be miles apart. I have no idea how you could hold that speed without loosing quality. Cheers Kai Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 Kai, I've been fortunate to have an unusually flexible schedule thes days, so I don't usually have this much time, and I wanted to build momentum before I no longer have as much time. In any case, thanks again! I now back in the front, and am going back to your build photos for reference. Cheers, Tom Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
