Popular Post Angelo M. Posted February 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) After six month I have really finished the HKG b-17 1/32. I used aftermarket add-ons and a lot of scrathbuild details to render the interior of this very large plane. I had a lot fun (and sweat) building this, but it is less funny find a place for this at home. I used books, pics and a virtual tour to render this plane as real as possible, expecially in the interior parts. It was a real adventure but I liked it a lot and I hope you all will enjoy this too.

noelh Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Brilliant! I could spend hours examining all the details. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winenut Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 That is incredibly amazing. I can't fathom where you might keep something that large! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmerboy Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 That is fantastic, a real labour of love by the look of it, you have the skill and patience of a saint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toryu Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Outstanding! The level of detail is incredible as if every combat station tells a story. I admire your creativity and craftmanship. Just one question: Are all US pilots wearing a moustache (or just those with Italian heritage)?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Brilliant work on that B-17! I think it's appropriate that you have the U.S. 'bucks' there for scale - I suspect you spent quite a bit on this beauty! Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloudman1961 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Fantastic work, sir. How long did that take you. How much of the detail is aftermarket or scratch built? 👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldy Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Angelo - Beautiful B-17. Superb detailing and presentation. I would love to make up one of these but I would not be able to commit the time to one model for so long! Also - what on earth do you do with it now!?

Harold55 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Beautiful job on the model, a real work of art. I really admire how you can remove the top to see the interior, clever and considering how much there is to see inside well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one question: Are all US pilots wearing a moustache (or just those with Italian heritage)?? it's not an Italian tradition, but I'm not so good at painting the faces of the figures, so I put a mustache to mask the mouth and lips, sometimes I even add sunglasses.
