TheyJammedKenny! Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Wonderful! Something about "Bat Project" and the looks of the 307 (as illustrated) reminds me of the notorious "Bat Boy" of Weekly World News fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertone139 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) Is it tax deductible? I'll probably buy two or three and resale them at triple the price on eBay in a couple of years. Edited November 6, 2020 by Robertone139 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheyJammedKenny! Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 A guy/gal could have a good time in Vegas with all that money! I'm sure it'll beat the earlier (Maquette) atrocity hands-down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LanceB Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) On 5/25/2020 at 2:43 PM, VMA131Marine said: I’m confused about why there appears to be an engine option for 14-cylinder, twin row, PW R-1830 Twin Wasps when every B-17 and derivative aircraft only used 9-cylinder Wright R-1820s, which are shown as the other option. Was there a one-off aircraft that used the PWs? Howard Hughes re-engined his copy with R-2600s, and decals for his aircraft are in the S-307/SB-307B boxing, so I would guess those are supposed to be R-2600s and not R-1830s?

Interesting, as the R-2600 was about 850lbs heavier than the R-1820 it replaced, although putting out 600-700 additional horsepower at takeoff.

I was lucky enough to have sold mine, I don’t know about yours, but my fuselage was moulded in about 6 different colours! I have the Bat Project Pan Am version on the way. I may have to acquire the other three ASAP, they are limited to 150 copies of each boxing! Not only have Bat Project produced a vastly superior kit than Maquette, you can do all of the different variations. I hope no one is going to make a “Cosmic Muffin” from the Bat kit!

But my wallet is perhaps happy I have read your article J-W, and you are a miracle worker! It’s a magnificent job considering what you had to work with! I have seen that Roden has released one in 1/144 injection moulded, looks good, except panel trenches are a bit deep for that scale. A few good coats of paint would help. I think only the TWA version is available. The Bat Project kit is my Christmas present, otherwise I continue with B-17’s. Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaVenom Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Well I finally got this kit as an Xmas present. Overall it's not bad but it's definitely a bit rough in places. The panel lines range from fine to too fine which will disappear under a few coats of paint. The panel lines are also themselves slightly rough in places and not Hasegawa like. The engines are probably the worst parts and have pretty indistinct, blobby detail. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
