More weathering work done.
You can see below how a semi matt have taken out the shine from the smoke improving its appearance.
I have also done some additional dirt and kerosene streaking.
The underside has also had more work. Additional oil and dirt streaking mainly. But I also applied AK exhaust wash over the superchargers. This effect depends on the base it is applied over and thatโs all to the betterComment

Maybe I'm late, but here are some of the reference pics of B17s I collected browsing through the web.
I hope they could still be of some use.

Nice work Barry. Itโs starting to come together well. Interesting that the shots posted by Andy show the exhaust trails to be uneven, especially the one from the starboard outer. Must be due to prop wash?Comment

Thanks Andy. What I find interesting is how different the patterns of weathering are between those you found and I found. Itโs too late to change the model to those off set patterns of course but very interesting. Thanks again.Comment

Don't want to be the bearer of bad new Barry but the staining of the 8 wing vents is wrong. Not exhaust fumes came out of the holes there. The staining goes either side of the openings

Neil, there is a video |I've seen showing the actual impact. Very sad. I dread to think how the bomb aimer felt watching it all happen......Comment

Alan, I see what you mean but what I did is as per one of my photos, the third one down that I posted.
Well the wings are on, no cement needed.
As you can see I have also removed all the masking. Final lap now
I do a completed thread soon.Comment
