May 23May 23 I've been working on this one off and on for over a year. It's nearing completion now so I thought I'd post a few photos. The topside camo is on but I'm thinking I made the dark earth a little too light when I mixed it. I think I might go back and re-apply a darker shade. Then, if it looks okay, it'll be time for the black sides and undersides. 😀 Edited May 23May 23 by JohnB593
May 23May 23 That's a nice looking paintjob so far, John. An interesting take on the B-17 for sure. I'm guessing the blister under the nose was for H2S?

May 25May 25 Nice work I always wanted to build a 100 Squadron B-17, I even bought the Paragon conversion for one, but it turned out to be another "not enough time" project so it never happened.CheersDennis Edited May 25May 25 by Spitfire
