100th BG Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I can send those along with your decals (no, I haven't forgotten!) if you would like. Did you get the forward cockpit piece you were looking for! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I can send those along with your decals (no, I haven't forgotten!) if you would like. Did you get the forward cockpit piece you were looking for! Awesome thank you. Ya I got around the cockpit piece by using the equivalent from the F kit and then cannibalizing the cockpit I had built for the front fuselage build. Using all G parts in the F kit now.

Bigasshammm Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) Ok so this 1/72 For I bought is a POS. The parts for the interior were missing. Now I looked at it more closely and the ball turret and main wheels are missing. Well I have half the main wheels? W T F! I could care less about the ball turret I guess but anyone know where I can get main wheels for her? I just want to get it thrown together and say the hell with it. I may not even do it now and just throw it in the spares. Grrrr So much for something simple to cut the monotony of the 1/48s.

Shawn M Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 If you half a main wheel you could try casting the other half? Would be a good chance to learn how to do it. Or, take the measurements of the wheel, send them to me and I'll see if I have something in my spares that is close. For the ball turret find a clear resin bead, drill two holes, add guns and voila!

Bigasshammm Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Well either way it's going back in it's box and probably be forgotten for some time. Karl I got the decals and pilots today thanks again! Got all my decals for my 1/48 Forts so I guess I press on with them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bigasshammm Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I'm going to be in need of 1 F top turret clear part. The Duke of Paducah was a G with an F model top turret. I have about 10 G turrets but only 1 F. Grrrr. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bashace Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) Hey folks, I'm in need of a 1/48 upper F model turret, can trade the G type for it if you need it. (Don't need any more, bought B-17F kit to cannibalize turret from) Edited March 13, 2011 by bashace Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B-17 guy Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I need to do that. I need all the window for the nose except for the nose cone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Apparently I'm going to need another set of 1/48 G decals. Preferably not SupersuckScale. Can pay or whatever. *shakes fist* Also If anyone has extra decals for propellers in 1/48 I could use a set for 4 props. I don't need the words just the round picture/design/whatever it's called is fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Still in search of the Hamilton Standard decals to make 2 B-17s. Would love the stencil as well but am perfectly fine with just the HS logos. If you have full B-17, B-24, or B-29 sheets with them on there and don't want to cut them up I'm open to buying the sheets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kostucha Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 I'll look in the stash. I'll just keep back what I would use for LMM, and send you the rest. I'll get back to you through the weekend. Cheers! Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers! Mark. No worries I got it sorted. They're all basically done. I have some more stencils I got from Shawn to put on The Duke but otherwise it's complete. I ended up selling all my spares as well so I don't really have any parts left lol. K Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am at work, but can check when I get home. Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I am good Jeff but thank you. All my forts are nearly buttoned up. The only 1/48 sheet I will eventually need is the one with the F model Fort Alamo II I believe of the 483rd. I want to use the white tail codes to make stencils for the black tail codes needed for my grandfathers plane I'll eventually build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kostucha Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) Would anyone be willing to trade a pair of unweighted 1/48 Wheels (Monograms B-17F) for a set of True Details weighted wheels (1:48 True Details B-17 Circumferential Tread Wheel Set #48098)? LMM's up on jacks, and even though the Verlinden set allows for the oleo's to be fully extended (no weight on wheels), all I have are weighted wheels. Anywho, yes, if you're willing to part with them, I'm more than happy for a straight up trade. PM me if you can. Cheers, Mark. Edited June 10, 2011 by Kostucha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
