Snafu35 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Hello Neil, The work you have done is remarkable, bravo👍 And thank you for the inspirational sharing. I have had one in dust endurance for a year. But recovery is coming, and I am going to get back into it! Regards, Eric-Snafu35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Wow! That's one beautiful looking ship! Awesome work. 👏👏 Looks like Airfix really nailed the classic B-17G shape and contours too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrB17 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I have been following your B-24 build, and I saw where you said that it would look nice beside your Fort, so I had to come take a look. Fantastic job Neil! I’m always impressed when I see the dirty oil streaks going between the wing vents and not out of them. It means you pay careful attention when you are researching. I’m guilty of having the streaks coming out of the wing vents in the past myself. Hollywood got their weathering wrong in the Memphis Belle movie, so I didn’t feel so bad. It wasn't until I started reading the erection and maintenance and pilots manuals that I discovered what the vents were for and then started paying closer attention to photos. Neil Burkill nailed the weathering, years ago on a Monogram B-17 and I see that you are in the same league with your weathering. Very impressive build on this great kit. I look forward to following your future builds. Once again, excellent work Neil. Cheers Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeusa Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I'm glad this post got a resurrection. Just a lovely B-17 that is so well finished with the NMF and weathered so precisely and accurately. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Well I do actually live in Eye, and regularly run on the old runway and taxi ways. Great to sed such a well executed model of an Eye based airframe! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to study what I see, although there's some artistic licence now and again after all, this has to be a bit of fun! I referred to Neil burkhill's B17 when I did the HK 1/48 one a couple of years ago, he has a talent there looking across his various builds.
