    Hello guys,

     

    Latest updates on the B17. Decided to get the 4 engines set, Master barrels and HGW seat-belts. So it's no longer OOB.

     

    Gear bays are 90% done :

    Main gear legs : I wanted first to build them oob, but plastic pipes are not reliable and broke. Moved along with a paint-striping and replacing the pipes details :

    Thanks gentlemen.


     


    Ballz....  :rolleyes:  hairy balls....  :huh:


     


    Is Freud member of LSM ? Sigmund if you get that one...


     


    Update on the...........thing.


     


    After the chipping with chipping fluid, additionial details made dry-brushed with new Ammo metal acrylics. Working good, acting like "silver wax" and buffable. For the turret in general, final stage of the metal rendering on the Sperry. Pin-washing is to come. No clear coat applied on the planetory shaped double gun habitacle.


    Barrels are oob and painted seperately for easy removal...


     

    :D

     

    Best,

    Laurent

    I like the merk and grime on top of that engine , very cool. what did you use ?

     

    Thanks a lot Polsen. I use Ammo of Mig weathering enamels. Dark wash for green. Base is Alclad metallic paints.

    Lovin' it.

     

    You mention "flash" so I'll ask: are the pieces covered with (what I'd call) "micro flash?" The He 219 was like this...nearly every piece had small bits of flash along them...presumably from where the molds join.

     

    Hi Jim,

     

    That's correct. Microflash it is.

     

    It is a beautiful kit, details are cool, improved engineering for a reliable build though with minor issues. the major -minor issue is the unequal plastic thikness between symmetrical pieces (wings and other bits...).

     

    Grab one :D

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    That engine looks Fantatic!

     

    Thanks a lot Dave :)

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Luv it. Think I may pick one of these up at Telford.

     

    Definitely ! A nice challenge. grab one too. :D

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Cheers guys,
