stevej60 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Simply outstanding build and finish,a real pleasure to see any fortress posted in the larger scales but the Coastal command scheme is the icing on the cake! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody37 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 A stunning build of a rarely represented version of the fort, certainly makes me want to crack out the 1/48 Fort from the stash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robstitt Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Etienne, Thrilled that my book inspired this magnificent piece of work. Good for you for going for the complex dorsal ASV array - looks perfect. Robert 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert;Without the info in your book and especially those magnificent technical drawings there was no way I could have done it..........thanks again.Cheers.

Juanita Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Etiennedup That’s a great looking model. You’ve really captured the ‘look’ and the weathering is beautifully balanced. Very pleased the book was able to give you inspiration and the technical information you needed for your model. I’ve been hoping someone would put those scale drawings to good use! :-) Juanita 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 That's real beauty. Terrific weathering. I always think the Fortress looks good in this scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navy Bird Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Nice to see a Fortress in a different scheme. You've really done a marvelous job with the old Monogram kit. I built that kit several times in my youth, unfortunately none of them survived. Seeing your build makes me want to add a B-17 to my collection (in the braille scale that I now work in). Excellent job! Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Holy #$%^!! That is just jaw droppingly beautiful. So many 48th scale B-17 builds look like clunkers. This is definitely not one of em. Plus, i even like the version. david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
