Boeing B-17E Flying Fortress 41-9112 The Dreamboat nose....... For anyone who wants to modify their 17E to incorporate this turret. Done a lot of research on the B17 and 8th over the years but never seen this picture before. All pictures are for discussions only.............

Actual photo showing rudder, wing and nose banding.......

Glad someone concurs on using Vallejo...........I haven’t seen a lot of Mr Colour over here in the UK but haven’t really looked either......

Stunning collection, love the 190 and the Cat, haven’t seen a built Cat for so long.........Congrats

Welcome to LSM Peter, another from our fair isle, jump on in , damn friendly bunch here.....good reference pics........

What Drifter said............

Thanks Peter, fiddly yes especially if you want to have the tracks sagging as the do in real life.......

Also 390th were called “ Wittans Wallopers” based at Framingham. Claim to fame, only man to fly 100 missions with 8AF was Hewitt Dunn did so with the 390th........

According to Roger Freeman’s The Mighty Eighth you’re spot on with the markings.....390 BG, yellow rudder, right wing yellow angled band, OD anti glare on on inboard side of engines plus in front of canopy. The one item he does show is a red band just behind the nose plexiglass........all pictures are for discussion only.......

Congrats, missed your build completely. Love the finish and the subtle weathering. Hope you also had a good Xmas and a happy New Years.........had the ZM F4J for Xmas, this will be my first jet in 40 odd years.........

Nice to see this behemoth moving along, nice catch on the stringers.......pulling up a chair.....

For ABS probably a 2 part epoxy.........Devcon or similar

Only a suggestion!!

Here on LSM scale is not an issue.......48th and below goes under Non LSM Builds and everything else is LSM builds..........so everyone gets to show their work......

Stunning Rob, I’m going to have a go at my Corsair radial before closing her up.......

Dare I say ..........Vallejo.........non smelly and I personally like them.......

Here is the complete list to finish before starting anything new .....but seriously no room on the bench. Going to make this my New Year resolution.......The Marder must have been stalled now for maybe seven years....... M3A4E8 Panzer III G Male IV Fw190 D9 - 48th Marder III H Matilda Tamiya Birdcage - 32nd SH Tempest V - 32nd LRDG Chevy Sherman M4 DV

Thanks Carl, having a real drive on finishing some kits, the bench can only take so many 95% complete builds.........with the Masterclub you have to be really careful not to snap the locating lugs as the resin is quite fragile, they were on the Male IV .............

Looking good, just trying out a new airbrush set up before starting priming the 10 kits have ready.....what the base sand / yellow you’ve used??

Exquisite build and finish, welcome to LSM, we have in our midst another master builder..........looking forward to seeing more eye candy.........

Unfortunately there is no attention to detail. Working in architecture, the devil is the detail but not according to the younger generation, they all want to be designers. My favourite saying is “presumably you’re suggesting we use sky hooks to support that” ...........man I am sounding old...........

Brilliant, I know you were hankering after a big Mossie........

Looking mighty fine there partner ..........

New anachronism for is “Where’s the fish”

Jeff, the SAS Jeep was 1974, a mere 44 years ago.......... i had one in the 70’s and always wanted another............
