stevehnz Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) & I'm pleased you went to the trouble, I must have missed this the first time around, it's fantastic & educational as well, you've done an amazing job that really does convey what went into the front of a B-17, mainly Oxygen & Ammo by the look of it. I wonder how many B-17s were lost by their oxygen bottles being hit & exploding?? Steve. Edited November 20, 2017 by stevehnz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme Shelter Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 An epic piece of creative modelling and demonstration of the skills associated to our hobby I confess to dropping out of the WIP (but remember it so well now I come to think of it), but to see it finished in all its glory, well, I'm just lost for words now.. perhaps this colour changing bouncy thing will do instead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie19 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 You really get the sense of what it was like in those cramped, very busy compartments! I can almost smell the oil, cordite and fumes...simply amazing work Fozzy, congratulations! Could you include a photo of your build with a paint tin or similar so we can get a sense of scale?
