PhantomBigStu Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) B-17 moving towards completion, did all the props, engine pieces etc last night, running low on the OD/Neutral gray paint, may well run out painting the cowlings and clear bits which will delay things. So time to move to something else Edited June 30, 2018 by PhantomBigStu 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 This one not going to happen, nor will the blenheim. B-17 proably won't make it either though still hope. Will be starting the 2nd p-47 later which I will finish in time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 Didn't ever happen for the radial GB but will be the enxt build I start 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 another Hellcat, these are a popular choice for this GB. Well hopefully you have better luck with this build Stu, put the canopy somewhere safe until the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 Should have done the gear parts earlier, would have been easier, tricky bit though is the wheels, they are too big for the wells 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 you could always cut the wheels in half, they may fit then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 Tried that first, plastics too hard so took a lot of sanding, got there in the end, now just to clean the canopy up 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
