Looking good John my father was a radio operator with the 92nd BG I have one B-17 1/48 the ole Revell I do need to do another.

I built this kit so wanted it but the LG's to me suck really just about any 1/24 kit really needs metal LG yours came out much nicer than mine.

Now that's pretty cool Jeroen

Good luck John never seen that one before and can see your interest.

Work continues waiting on some brown EZ-line for the ropes for the flags quite a few of those so the turrets came off and blast bags till the line shows up.

Cool!!

Sorry Hubert XP-67

That wood grain effect looks super Martian.

She looks Quite Nice Hubert! Now I have another one for ya the XP-57? ahead of it's time in design but needed a fire truck in tow.

Me likey Gus

Thanks Hubert it adds much to the life of the ship

I have started rigging the Foreward SS area still waiting on some brown EZ-line used for flags for the most part.The first pic shows were I had to add an upright extension to a foreward yard off the SS upper deck still not painted yet and the line heads to a piece I made last week.I am finding these little tri-leg projections all over the SS found four more tonight using a magnifying glass. This pic shows where I used black metal line between the outrigger yards of the SS from front yard to rear and around the front yard to the tri-leg on the SS is EZ-line.The metal line on the sides and back will handle much in rope this will allow the lines not to sag no were as much and look more natural ...I hope. You can see just off to the side of the searchlight a new pole added still have to add the V for tri-leg to the bottom it's a beotch.These go to the forward control room and then to the rangefinder right below The other side where another tri-leg was located and is complete a bit of trial/error here took about 20 minutes and third fold was correct just a PIA but guys rigging is one of the most important elements in bring these ships to life. You can see the little mooring lights I made out of brass below the upper yard.I am just to gullible in thinking these manufactures will include this stuff such as the lights and parts for a successful rigging process but then again I am going 1943 other years where different.You would have to be a Scharnhorst fanatic to know what I missed. Thanks for looking in.

Your good here Reuben and I expect mine to come in tomorrow.

A beotch about the flaps but she does look very Nice!I see the two of us basically like to use the same technique when spraying the camo colors light pressure,small tip and the gun is always moving for that irregular pattern gives it a natural worn look.

Thanks Guy I keep finding stuff added more to the forward mast last night and added more rafts to the back of the SS as depicted in 1943.I am mapping out the rigging in my head ATTM steel wire was supplied(black) which I will use as anchor point above were EZ line will attach to.The steel line will not sag under the stress making things look more natural.The pics are the very first with a different camera still playing also got a tripod helped alot on clarity. I think I have to go with the Bismark after this one just like that Atlantic bow and German design.
