Fozzy Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) Good afternoon chaps! Some of you might remember a few years back that I scratch built the front section of a B17G in 1:20 scale. Well I made a rather crazy decision to continue down the fuselage and try to build the whole thing! I started building the bomb bay on 17th September 2016 which once upon a time you could have looked at if you were interested but Photo bucket destroyed the whole lot over night which I'm sure you all know! So after a years work on and off and a lot of heart ache at times...I present to you the B17G bomb bay section.....I do hope you like it! Here is what the B17G looks like so far!....only another 4 sections to go! I will be starting the radio room section at the end of the year. Thanks for your time for having a look!

Gorby Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Those internal photos could easily be mistaken for the real deal. Stunning work! When are you starting on the next bit? Can't wait. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Gordon Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 For a brief moment I was unsure if I was looking at photos of the real thing.I'm certain that your bit is accurate. I was,and still am,convinced.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawzer Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) By my mistake maths a 1/20 b17 would be around 3 feet 7 1/2 inches long. Just going by eye, that whole part is what, 5 or 6 inches? I'm blown away with this. Edited July 12, 2017 by Lawzer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Stunning, Fozzy. Although nothing less than expected! Looking forward to the next part. I'm currently going through all my old posts updating the links so they are still usable as references. PITA, but I'm not going to be blackmailed by PB!
