Well here's a little project that's been ticking over for months. I mean, when I had a spare hour, I might build an engine, that sort of build. Hence, no build thread, you would all get bored waiting for any update.
The Revell B17 has its critics. It looks like a B17 to me, so I'm happy. There are build reviews all over the web for this model. I'll just add, there's a lot of detail to consider when building this, but no problems during the build - none at all, everything went where it was meant to go. Paint was a mix (not literally) of MRP and alclad. Then a splash of oil to liven things up a bit. Some of you might know, I do like a dirty bird.
In the world of Engineering, it's often said, if something looks right, it probably is right. In my view, there are few aircraft that look as 'right' as a B17 There are many photos of these amazing aircraft landing back in the UK, absolutely battered to bits, huge pieces of aircraft missing, and yet they returned. Little Miss Mischief, below, is made up of two aircraft, hence the green fuselage, after sustaining sever damage on a mission.
