mynameismatt Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 (edited) I'm in the beginning phases of a 1/48 Flying Fortress build and would like to build up "Vonnie Gal" which was a B-17F that was fitted with a chin turret. It retained the "F" model top turret and open waist windows. Anyway, I have a "G" kit, but need a few "F" specific parts to complete this build. this is what I'm looking for: 1. The top turret assembly 2. The side fuselage gun swivels - I don't need the guns themselves, but I do need the "swivel joint that attaches the gun to the fuselage. I'm sorry that I don't have the specific part numbers, but if you think you might have these parts please let me know. I will gladly reimburse $ for the parts if necessary. thanks!

Bigasshammm Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Side swivels you can probably scratch pretty easily with some small tubing. The F top turret gets hard to come by as the F kit isn't early as popular as the G so people don't have many spares. How do you plan to approach the cheek windows on the G kit? If you can find a junked model from someone you can cut out the small windows an graft them in. I did this when I built a late F in the old GB. Good luck hope to see it.

mynameismatt Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Thanks for the quick reply. I didn't consider the front fuselage differences, doh!I suppose I'll have to go with a standard "G" scheme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
