GooglyDoogly Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) *Massive Edit* After a little snafu with my B-17F, I decided to focus on my B-17G first, and simply use my B-17F as a donor kit. Edited March 11, 2011 by GooglyDoogly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kostucha Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Excellent! Welcome aboard! I'm looking forward to seeing this one, and I'm sure the streak will be over here. Cheers! Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GooglyDoogly Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 Finally, got some time to dedicate on this plane. ;) First order of business, spray the interior with zinc chromate. Then spent the night painting the interior. After an hour or so painting the details, I realized that I wouldn't be able to see any of these once the fuselage are glued together. So for the sake of expediency, I will stop painting the details inside, and focus instead on the exterior. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

B-17 guy Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 That's some damn fine work, and fast! Sorry to here about the snafu with the F kit. BUT.....I assume it's a 48th scale F. If your gonna use it as a donor kit, any chance you could part with the fronts of the fuselage halves? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

B-17 guy Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Buncha vultures in this GB.lol Sorry, cant help it. I can very easily find a use for the fuse halves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Sorry, cant help it. I can very easily find a use for the fuse halves. Just bustin on ya. I was wondering really what parts from the F he may actually use. Usually it's the other way around as my F is only the fuselages and elevators and the rest is all G parts.

GooglyDoogly Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 Hi, B-17 guy, if you need the fuselage halves, just shoot me a PM. :blink: I was going to work on the engines next tonight, but the Eduard B-17G masks that I ordered from Sprues Brothers just arrived, so that will be the next step for tonight!

B-17 guy Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) PM inbound! Silly question, they are 48th scale correct? Edited March 11, 2011 by B-17 guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GooglyDoogly Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 PM inbound!Silly question, they are 48th scale correct? Yep, they're 48th scale! lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Are you using a G or F turret? I could use the F style top turret clear piece if you're not going to use it. Let me know. Kris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ranger74 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Ya'll know vultures have a great sense of smell! You guys must have spelled that B-17F carcass before you logged onto ARC forums :) Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GooglyDoogly Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 lol I don't mind, these will simply end up as junk anyway. I'm using B-17G top turret, so the B-17F top turret piece is available. If anyone needs parts from the F kit, just shoot me a pm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kostucha Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 If he hasn't contacted you, try getting in touch with BashAce (Ron)... he's looking for one in the parts swap. Cheers, Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GooglyDoogly Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 After a night of watching The Walking Dead, I have worked on the wings, landing gear, and glued together fuselage together. I hope I put enough glue on these windows. Also started masking the windows. Not wholly happy with the Eduard mask set, because they're a tad too small. But oh well, masking is part of the fun, I guess. Also started on the cowling, and will be working on the engines soon. :wacko: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
