Monogram B-17G Out of Mothballs
Re: Monogram B-17G Out of Mothballs
Thanks stick, It was actually inspired by a photo similar to this one. It is almost like something was leaching through the panel lines...Stikpusher wrote: ↑Tue Jan 24, 2023 11:48 am I’m really liking the shading that you did along the panel lines to simulate the overlapping panel look.

Thanks Stuart, I'm actually running out of Dust-Off compressed air... some things might starting getting ... un-cleaner.. I just found out the Top Turret does not fit in the hole. I had to do some major sanding today with a wood dowel and 220 grit to make it fit. Glad nobody saw me holding the fuse up-side down while I sanded to try and keep as much debris out of the interior as possible! Just used up the last of the Dust-Off after that little operation...
Thank you SteveSki!

Unsealed laps usually get that look, flying in weather pushes dirt and gunk into laps and it runs down. A paint job prevents that until it weathers and cracks at the laps.

Latest update. Installed Radio Compartment Gun n Glass. Trying this Vallejo plastic putty. Not thrilled with it. More like Caulking than putty. I would never use it on a NMF. Some guy on yuk-tube said it was a 'game changer'. More like a channel changer -- not watching him again.
Moving on to the flight deck. Need to fix this section which always seems to be an issue on this kit. Mixed some very old slow zap with some acrylic nail powder -- should cure in about 12 hours...
