Stunner. Metal surface and weathering is excellent.

Rod, Beautiful job on an impressive kit.  Love the B-17G but have only built the Monogram/ProModeller kits.

Your finish and weathering are top-notch - well done.  But your photography really pulls in the subject.  Looking forward to more pictures.
