Revell B-17F Memphis Belle 1:48

[Guest]

Thanks guys - and thanks for the honesty! Yeah - I got some satin varnish (humbrol) the other day and i'm thinking it's shinier than i'd like but might be able to get a matt tomorrow. There were a lot of disasters along the way. machine guns breaking off, decals coming off, the ball turret i made a real mess of, and the grainy paint after weathering. I'm hoping to "Matt it down" tomorrow. Then a few nixers (not sure what you call them in England but jobs on the side) to get some money together for John, before ordering Aires cockpit, wheel-wells, decals and electronics for my A-10 Thunderbolt II (74th FS) - cant wait!

That's a good job for your first effort. It was bound to be a learning curve and you obviously got well along it I've built a couple of these and they are by no means the easiest kits to put together.

I agree that it could do with matting down a bit,but well done.

Good luck with the A-10,that'll be quite a beast.

Cheers
