tomthounaojam Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Greetings Folks, My attempt of Hells Angel using Academy kit 1/72, I have seen some awesome models out there hope mine is somewhere closed to it. No the expert and have novice idea of US ww2 plane, apologies if any mistake and hope it can be pass on. Painted using local paints and for metal, Mr. Color 8 silver added different color for silver modulations. Cheers 55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramedic Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 That is a great-looking B-17! You did a great job! Looking good to me. Neither I am an expert but what could possibly be wrong? How was the kit? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was almost great kit, there were some minor fit issues but experience modeler will have now problem dealing with it. 8 hours ago, Flight Line Media said: Impressive work, Tom!

opus999 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 That looks outstanding. I think the metal finish looks very realistic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigglesof266 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Although an oldie, it scrubs up well enough & you've done a building and painting. BUT, and not to rain on your parade as I too have that Academy kit (12414 "Special Nose Art Edition"), among other less immediately apparent visually prominent issues of it characteristic of it kits of the era (1988 Miniart repop), it has a problem even Airfix's venerable old mould 1963 kit doesn't. As you can see from the photos its mainplane dihedral is way out of wack needs correction when building, which I found an utter PITA to do. JFI of others who might have one in their stash when they come to building it in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Looks great! I love the look of the exhaust staining on the natural metal. Beautifully done all-round! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
