JOCKNEY Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I got this kit as part of a spares / scrap joblot on Evilbay some time ago and despite some damage and a couple of missing parts thought it had potential so was worth rescuing. The aircraft is a B-17C Flying Fortress Mk1 with RAF Coastal Command, servings in Nuts Corner, Northern Ireland 1942. It was built for the recent B-17 Single Type Group Build here on BM, link below. Here it is finished, biggest kit I've built for a long time, let me know what you think cheers Pat 65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Law Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Good result. That can't have been easy brush painting something that size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Hi Pat, congrats on a beautiful B-17!!! She sure looks great in Coastal Command scheme. These roundels make all the difference. You've made another winner! What's next? JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 That looks rather smart. I have one in the stash and will be a very happy boy if it turns out anywhere as nice as your one has. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Nice build and not so many early B17 models around, it is quite surprising how long the Fortress I lasted in British service in various guises 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
