ErikT Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 So, this one is definitely not historically accurate, but I wanted to do up an all-metal B-17, and this is the kit and the decal set I had on hand, and I saw this paint scheme and loved it. My apologies if I offend anyone with incorrect decals, paint scheme, etc. In any case, I had fun building and painting up this beast. The metal colours are all enamels, with Tamiya acrylics for the other colours and details. Weathering was Abteilung oils. I learned a lot on this one, and if I ever do another, I think I'll go with a camouflage B-17G, and find a decal set that fits with the paint scheme I plan to do. Enjoy! 39 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markh-75 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Very nice! I made the Academy B-17F "Memphis Belle' which is the alternative version in the same box to "Miss Quachita" a year or so ago, a good model to build, with only one or two discrepancies; yours looks smashing!

jean Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 This B-17 is extremely well built. Congrats! Re the paint scheme, all will be forgiven after you confess your horrendous sin. But if you say nothing, pretty much nobody will ever notice. Beautiful. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogsbody Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Well done! If you hadn't said anything about historic accuracy, I wouldn't have ever known My knowledge of B-17's doesn't run very deep. I think you've done a great job on it. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Fantastic, Mate! Built and finished so well, it convinces me this particular plane could have existed. Imagination in any scale modeler is a quality not to be dismissed. 👍👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
