JohnG Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I just got my 1/48 Revell B-17G, and am drooling in anticipation of the AMS indulgence that awaits. I want to go all-out on this one, and was hoping you guys could fill me in on all the various detail sets out there. I'm also currently researching B-17's with some good battle damage and enough photo reference to model it. I hope to be able to scratchbuild as well. Thanks in advance!

jrallman Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Cutting Edge is not currently working on their B-17 stuff. No word on when they may start up again. there were previous discussions about this subject, hopefully those threads can help as well. decal discussion aftermarket discussion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moeggo Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 In the Verlinden Detail set there is a Cheyenne Tail Turret included Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I reccommend them :lol: Oh, and Neil, Don't let it go to yur head :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG Posted May 6, 2006 Author Share Posted May 6, 2006 Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but which of these sets has some decent .50 cals? That's pretty much all I need; I've since found some awesome print references and am going to scratchbuild a lot of the details. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's pretty much all I need; I've since found some awesome print references and am going to scratchbuild a lot of the details. Karaya make some superb .50 cals with perforated metal barrels and resin breeches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG Posted May 6, 2006 Author Share Posted May 6, 2006 (edited) SOunds good.... where/how can I order from Karaya? On their site, there's no ordering info. (EDIT: I just checked, and there is ordering info. I'm dumb.) Also, can anyone tell me what's included in the Verlinden set? I'd be willing to splurge on that set if it incorporates cockpit, bombardier compartment and .50 cals. I can't find a decent decription online.

jrallman Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 You can also PM Neil to see if he has any of his Paragon bomb bays in stock. I ordered direct from Karaya and it was cheaper than going through a store. They really are the best .50cal that I have seen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
