    revel 1/48 B17 Memphis Belle

    [ATTACH]54326.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]54327.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]54328.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]54329.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]54330.vB[/ATTACH] I don't think this ended up looking too bad considering the hassle I had with the kit and I must admit it got on my nerves a little, nearly every part had to be trimmed and most of the fuselage needed filling but I was happy with the look when completed.

    Nice work, I built a 1:48th B-17 and know the issues you had, for storage reasons I didnt glue my wings, makes it easier to take to shows

        I've only built one of those,years ago,and won't be building another!

        You've managed to get a decent result out of a kit which definitely shows its age.

        Cheers

          you did a good job,one point the join lines make it look a bit eeekk,filing them flat would give a better look
