    Papa695s 1/48 Revell B17.

    This is going to be my next build, I got the kit from Ron ( Spanner 570 ) some time ago. Not sure what scheme to go for, I’ll decide on that when I get to the painting stage. It will be an OOB build.

    I have often looked at this one so I will be looking in from time to time to see if I might be tempted to get one

      I wondered what happened to this......Have you been treading on the box!

      Good luck with the build, Ian.

        Is that the dark green almost brittle plastic it's moulded in? I find Tamiya Extra thin really struggles with it and I have to use EMA Plastic Weld which I think is a bit 'hotter'.

            Yes Dave, thanks for the heads up with the glue.

              Blimey,i`ve got this exact same kit in my Garage Stash,(Box is too big for my Office Stash),
              Totally agree about the brittle plastic,and the details are quite limited,however,if you`re not TOO worried about a critically acclaimed result,i reckon this is a great specimen.....
              .... Crack on Ian,i`m looking forward to following this one:thumb2:.

                  Thanks for looking in guys, plenty of tea and coffee available, also Tunnocks caramel wafers ( Ron’s favourite).
                  Made a start on this, the cockpit parts built and ready for painting.

                    All painted and glued together, and decals on the cockpit parts.

                      Considering how basic it is you've done a good job on the old pit

                          Not many aeroplanes more famous than Memphis Belle. Interesting about the plastic. I like that EMA Plastic Weld.
                          I agree with Peter. That's a fine job you've done on that cockpit.

                              I like how they provide both red and blue wheel hub decals for Memphis Belle, that's a point of controversy for some. Off to a good start Ian
