Sky Keg Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Greetings to all, For a number of years, I`ve gazed upon the incredible works of art posted on this website. Now I`ve decided to “dip my toe” in the waters of Britmodeller. I`m beginning with the Airfix B-17G. I used AK Interactive Extreme paint and weathered the model by using a combination of paint, washes, and pastels. I found the kit to be excellent and enjoyed the entire process. Thank you in advance!!!! Mike PS : My apologies for my picture quality as my photography skills are very basic at best. 73 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchen Modeller Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Great work - oil stains look good over the Nmf - well done 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmerboy Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 That’s a well built and finished B17, and I love the last picture with her ‘little friends’. Good job, glad you decided to post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanC Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Super model Mike. The NMF looks very good. Nice weathering too, but the rear intercooler vents on the wing actually expelled air rather than dark exhaust gases, so the stains tended to streak around them rather than from them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Terrific. A great natural metal finish and nice weathring. I'm quite interested in this kit. Looks like Airfix have pulled off the nose inserts for different variants better than Revell.De where it is more obvious that it is an insert. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Very convincing B-17! Your NMF is excellent and demonstrates the late war "air superiority" of these amazing aircraft and their brave crews. Top job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
