discussion Revell 1/72 Boeing B17G Flying Fortress Boeing

[Guest]

Let me tell you foiling something like this is no easy task, it's only that I think it looks ok that I'm continuing (put me off planes again) the bit where the wings connect was a real pita (Still not that happy with it) can't see how to make it better, I'm hoping the wings will be easier.

There's a lot of detail on the inside of the clear parts which I can't see the point of since when painted you can't see it (I suppose it's another part of building planes) I was really looking forward to the 1/24 Airfix mosquito (was going to ask for it as a birthday prezzie)

Ken,
Try canopy glue for clear parts its very strong and dries clear. Nice work so far.

I've got this one to build (I think I said that in an earlier post) but there's no way I'm going the foil route, I'm just not brave enough. Hat's off to you for the foil.

Well I'm definitely not going to be any good at planes (will stick to genres I'm more in tune with) (what I don't understand is why planes are so difficult)give me an engine on a bike or car an I can do a half decent job of it, I've worked with them most of my life so know how they should look(maybe that's why the plane engines looks so bad, never even seen one let alone worked on one.

Ken,
I'm not a wingy person either but there's nowt wrong with that.
