I've been tempted by those set a few times but I've done my own for the B-17, although I still have to work out a suitable power supply....... Craig Thank you Craig. You seem to like challenges when you’ve done your own for your B-17. And for sure with your skills you will find a solution for the power-supply. Mine has included a battery-pack for 4 AA-cells. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting to see all of the interior plumbing you have added. electronics are so beyond me. I can wire stuff together... but don;t really understand how to use a circuit board like you're using. Thank you Gary! The set is easy to use and self-explanatory. Should be no problem at all for you to use it. You only have to find ways for the cables and a place for the circuit board. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaireckstadt Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 Thank you for your feedback! I didn’t have much time for the bench last week because I was at a model fair. Have only painted and weathered the main gear wheel wells: 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it mandatory at those kind of events the wallet goes empty but you have all these big boxes?? The WW will look good once those are in place. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Kai Right with Gus and Kev, your wheel wells are looking amazing. Keep 'em comin Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaireckstadt Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 Thank you all for your feedback. I was able to keep my wallet shut, Kevin. Wasn’t easy but it worked 😉. I have finished the wheel wells now including the integration of the big currency cables which will run through the tires into the baseplate later on. Everything you see is just painted. No extra wiring this time. The wash picking out the details of the wheel-wells was done with oil-colors. Next will be the main landing-gear legs. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaireckstadt Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 Thank you all for your feedback ! I hope that you have as much fun with the set as I have Mark. After some absence I found some time to continue my build. I finished the main landing gear legs and the painting of all intake parts after removing several visible sink-marks on them (thank you Italeri! 🤬). Next step will be the painting of the black edges and assembly of the intakes. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaireckstadt Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 Thank you all for your feedback! Small update: today I finished the black stripes inside the intakes. Again lots of masking but now it’s finished.
