Looking fine so far Mike. This kit is known for the poor fitting parts so don't worry it's not you. It's an old kit from Revell and their 1/48 B-17G kit was newer and better in all respects.

Keep up the good work and hope to see a few more pics of it :)
 
Good stuff Mike. I built one of these a few :music_whistling: years ago. I remember having a bit of fun with the fit. It makes an impressive and big model.

Cheers

That's looking very good Mike. I like seeing a kit come together, and there's always something new to learn as I did using sellotape to hold a fuselage together - what a sticky mess that left!

im learning as im going along and hope this is a model i'll do again in a few years - hopefully with an airbrush! Enjoying seeing it come together though. Going slower and allowing drying time for everything - wish I did that at the very beginning!
 
You'll get there Mike. We never stop learning in this hobby. Looking good so far :)
