Wow! The detail is spectacular!

Great looking plane! Are the blue and white stripes on the bottom done with paint or are they decals?

This is fantastic! My next build is a B17 - I'll do my best, but it won't come close to yours!

The pictures on the grass make it look so real - great work!

Beautiful!

So realistic - congratulations on a masterpiece!

Stunningly beautiful! A work of art!

Excellent work! The details of the rivets and panel lines really stand out - how did you do it?

This is so awesome! I hope to build one someday!

Wow! Great job!

Your model is absolutely beautiful - thank you for sharing! More importantly, I wish healing and rejuvenation in your personal life.

Wow! You are an artist!

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing.

Greetings Friends, I have been absolutely blown away by the completed planes I see here on BritModeler. Your work has inspired me to try to step up the quality of the planes I build. I have some specific questions which I will mostly ask one-at-a-time, but I value your skills and experience so much that I would gladly accept any other suggestions that you have. Since starting the hobby again after retiring I have built three planes and two cars (besides 1:48 scale WWII planes I also build 1:24(25) scale classic cars). They all need touching up on a few details, but I promise to post pictures when they are ready. As I work on the touch ups I want to start painting my next project: a 1:48 B-17G by Revell. I plan to use the paint scheme described in an article from the 95th Bomb Group Memorials Foundation: Chronological Development of B-17 Camouflage and Markings. They describe the paint scheme of the B-17F as “The upper surfaces were painted with Number 41 Olive Drab, while the lower surfaces were covered with Number 43 Neutral Grey.” My kit is a B-17G, but I also read that there was cross over between the series rather abrupt absolute changes. My first question is: Should I use a primer before painting the body and wings with the olive drab and neutral grey? I am using Tamiya spray enamel paint. Thank you for your input! Tom

This is stunning! Your attention to detail and the history are excellent. I had to show this to my wife, it is such a thing of beauty.
