Hi Jason, you have made great progress on the B-17, looking forward to the next update, I couldvalmost be convinced to build/model 72nd, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les

I’m done! Decided to go wheels up and on a stand. Certainly wouldn’t win any contests but I learned a lot and from a distance she doesn’t look to bad. One thing I’m going to try on the next build is to try using liquid mask to cover tabs and holes before paint. Scraping and digging and filing was no fun! I had a bit of trouble with some of the clear parts and I ended up with a real “weathered” look on some of them 😅. Those green stripe decals turned into a fiasco and I ended up painting those on. The metal finish is totally suspect at best but heck it was my first attempt. I ended up over sanding more than a few panel lines so after paint they really wouldn’t take the panel liner and my overall weathering could be much better I’m sure. But all in all I’m happy it’s actually completed, probably due to joining in on the group build so I just want to say thank you Jason and to all the others who joined in for keeping the fire burning under me! Now it’s time to turn my attention to a few other summer projects I’ve been putting off, I’ve got a car to spruce up a little and sell (1988 iroc Camaro) for instance. Cheers🍻💪🙏🏻👆
