B-17 guy

Would you consider doing pitot tubes for B-17’s in 48th scale? For both F and G models.

So I did find a revell and ICM kit for the C-45. Thought I had seen a AT-11 kit in 48th, but can only find 1/72. Oh well I guess.

Yeah, that was a helpful response.

I forgot all about this kit!! I will be getting this! correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t there also another WWII twin engine trainer kit in 1/48 out there?? Such as an AT-11? I know there are C-45 kits in 1/48 but thought I had seen a AT-11 kit somewhere

Same guy messaged me. It was suspicious right away to me when he put a phone number for faster response. Hard pass.

This set.

Haha, I’ve been a Bills my whole life. My best friend since we were kids is still a fins fan. It’s been the most bitter yet beloved rivalry this whole time. Glad to see the fins competitive again. if you’re willing to sell that set, I’m hoping we can work this out. You can message me for details. RBT010 is the set with the holder and 3 wheels.

Pretty sure I lost mine in a move. Need it and cant find one online. Does anyone have the RB productions Rivet-R mini rivet tool RBPT010 they can sell? I have fuselages that are riveted but wings and tail are not.

Stunning! I expect this build to taxi and take off under its own power!

Wow! Extremely impressive! Especially in that scale.

Google says yes. The Swiss received a dozen of them in April of 44.

What exactly did they correct?

Sadly no.

Well, that’s a bit more clear. Thanks.

It is kind of confusing, I’m not sure they’re saying two different models, as in sub types or two complete kits can be built. I see that there are options for the fuselage, but are there actually enough parts for two complete aircraft is what I’m trying to figure out.

Is there a way to get that in English that I’m missing? how many parts are in the box? Looks like enough for two aircraft.

Your post is a bit confusing. You don’t want to get the Eduard kit because you don’t want to ruin it so you get an Airfix kit or kits? And a bunch aftermarket stuff for them? The aftermarket parts can’t be more of a challenge than kit parts can be. I’d say build the first one OOB, test and gauge your skills and go from there.

Thanks riff, it’s 1/48.

Mine.

The real one

I think I either used French blue or true blue from the square testers bottle. FYI: Biggest mistake I always see with that stripe is people not making the notch outs for the serial number, squared U and the aircraft letter. Just saying, it’s worth the effort to take the time for that.

Beautiful looking decals, thanks for posting.

Perhaps a link to that build?

Ok so, the easiest way to spot the early G model would be to look at the waist guns. If the windows are not staggered and straight across from each other. And those same windows should generally be 3 separate windows instead of a single panel window. After that look at the tail guns. If it has the pumpkin tail it’s likely a later G. You want to look for the stinger tail like the E and F. Don’t overthink this, it’s really not that complicated. There are plenty of decal options out there. Google, eBay, and all the other online hobby stores will show a lot of options. Just use what I’ve already s

Hopefully I’ll have one waiting for me Christmas morning.
