Thanks guys! :) As to the Humbrol glue -- not familiar, will have to check it out! I've been using just plain old super-glue for most of it. Not much in the way of progress, but I got a 'draft' of the ventral gun floor started -- hardest part was getting it to line up. Also...

Hi all! Well, I've lurked around here for a few years, but thought I'd finally post a few pics of a long term project I'm working on: She's going to be a 1/48 scale B-17B, circa August 1939 and I've been working on her slowly since January 2012. And here's where we're at: I've...

Thankye kindly!
