I assume they looked at a museum based original and as they are in an unfuelled state they don't compress the undercarriage. It's a common error made by model companies, as most museum based aeroplanes do not have the weight to compress the oleos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Excellent weathering, my friend! I really like the exhaust-stains over the wings. Superb work, all round... Thanks for sharing with us. Chris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand corrected. Nevertheless, it is superb weathering. I may need to get some of those splatter stencils. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 One of the truly iconic WW2 planes and you nailed it for sure! Your worn and stained OD finish looks superb. I find 1/72 more manageable, myself, but I relish looking at B-17's in any scale - they really have an aura about them. Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Keg Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Very nice Angelo. That`s just how a B-17 looks. Tired and beat up but pressing on. Great results!!!!! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
