B-17 man Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Hello all, I’m trying to finish up a 1/48 B-17G that building as a 100th group fortress III. I’m about 90% done, I need to finish up the nose area right now. I have the infrared ID bar that goes across and have seen a pic with curtains hanging behind that. And some kind of framed structure below that? I had reference material that showed possibly the nose cone being blacked out but can’t access that anymore. What I’m asking for is pics of the nose section and it’s equipment. I’ve google and bing imaged the web and have found very little. TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leyreynolds Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I think the book Aircraft of 100 Group has these details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I’m asking for is pics of the nose section and it’s equipment. have you got access to I've posted this before as for the equipment fit, cut n pasted from a previous thread For ECM aerials and the like you [probably] want the "airfcraft of 100 group'' by Martin Streetly, originally a series in Scale Models around 1980 or 81 IIRC, later published as a book. it was aimed at modellers so has details of what was fitted where, inside and out and camo schemes too.Long out of print [and expensive used] , but pdf's are available online if you search....and before anyone moans it's been out of print for 25 years or more!!!! Just checked the depositfiles, here - http://depositfiles....files/hbqunyag2 The file is available. Though is this is Karl from Hyperscale, then you already have this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-17 man Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 I’m on a tablet, don’t want to download pdf’s. Honestly looking to see if anyone has pics readily available. I’m just trying to finish a build.....😔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coors54 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Not that many photos available, it was a very secret operation after all, I think you're wanting something that can't be supplied. Troy has offered the best solution, can't understand why you would be happy to download pictures but not pdf's, aren't they a picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-17 man Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 PDF is a much bigger file that I don’t have room for, thanks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Does your tablet have provision for addition storage via SD micro card, they come with amazing storage these days but check to see what your tablet can handle, it might be worth an upgrade & they're not too spendy.
