discussion Airfix 1/72 Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress (08005)

Hi all. Thought you might like to see my first plastic plane build in over 30 years. Used Humbrol Paints and paint brushes

:?:

Triumph, this is spot on and the background is just right. Coupled with excellent photography, it is a first rate effort.

I am an armour builder as a rule but I have my first attempt at a 1/72 aircraft which happens to be a B-17, here in my photo gallery and compared with this you would presume my dog had built it!!!!!!

It is also refreshing to see someone like me, who only uses brushes.

:bravo:

WOW i thought that was a real B-17 then so that just proves how good it is.

In fact i've got this same model to be done but i bought paints for the FEAVER BEAVERS but i dont like the FEAVER BEAVER decals so im thinking of putting the FLAK EATERS decals but on the FEAVER BEAVERS colour sceme

by the way im not all that getting it like identical to the real plane
