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

Cheers Joe, I was looking on line about the B17 and Memphis Belle, and saw a scheme that really caught my eye. So Memphis Belle is out. But you’ll have to wait for the painting stage to find out.

Done a little more work to this, got the wings put together, it says to fit the wheels before you put them together, but I’m sure I can fit them after. Also started re scribing the panel lines.

That cockpit is looking the business. Great work indeed.

Very well done.

Great progress Ian , re scribing looks good . Interested to see the scheme , glad you found something different , Memphis belle has been a bit overdone over the years plus its not a particularly interesting scheme , theres far better out there , cheers tony

Thanks Gary, still an awful lot of work to do though.

Bit late , sorry Ian.
When I saw the box I thought Mrs Ron had been practicing, and had chucked it at 570 !

Some nice painting of the internals. A golden oldie.

Been lurking in the back enjoying the Tunnocks and the build until I had to chyme in wondering for a while why you had little flip flop slippers on your work table besides the little Volkwagens :smiling6: They're cute holders and clips.

Cheers,
