GPM B-17 Flying Fortress 1\33 card kit

Thread owner
I am going to revive this thread with a completely new build as the original has been trashed with the constant moving about from draw to draw
So here's the first part of the build and it benefits from laser cut frames. IMG_20210320_133617.jpgIMG_20210320_133953.jpgIMG_20210320_151905.jpgIMG_20210320_151911.jpg
 
I’ve got loads of these types of models including a B17 so will be watching this one see any tips you have

Regards

Colin
 
This is taking shape well, utterly amazing how a few bits of cardboard can create such a great and detailed model. I’ll watch this build with interest.

Going a bit better this time around as I have got the hang of this build so I have added another section and body work on and now started on the bomb aimers position.IMG_20210322_121826.jpgIMG_20210322_121833.jpgIMG_20210323_091009.jpgIMG_20210323_091033.jpgIMG_20210323_091044.jpg

All wings attached and looking like an aircraft and I have started the starboard outside engine nacelle.
And after this one and my bismarck and titanic are finished no more card models IMG_20210328_102919.jpgIMG_20210328_102955.jpgIMG_20210328_105418.jpgIMG_20210328_163223.jpgIMG_20210328_162731.jpg
