**** DONE: GB-60 1/72 B-17C Flying Fortress – Zombie Build

[Wurger]

Get well Glenn.

Hope the surgery goes well, Glenn! Nice to see you working on a shark-tail.

I built that same model years ago. I put a heck of a lot of effort into it. I even built, painted and installed the innards. And sticky out bits too! Not up to the level of builds posted here but I was quite proud of it. It was destroyed by a thoughtless jerk during a move.
I am really looking forward to this build.

I hear ya, mine got bumped off the shelf by an air conditioning repairman. Fortunately it was at an earlier stage and the damage wasn't too major so I've managed to repair it, but it's sat on my shelf half-finished ever since, awaiting a repaint and final assembly.

Well now is your opportunity. Give it a dusting down and slot it into a GB60 build.

I've pulled off all the masking except the window, (some of it's been on there 13+ years) and the wing masks transferred to the Boeing 307. I was surprised that the old masking came off as easy as it did with only a little more effort.
I'm really pleased with the way it has turned out.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

You have every right to be chuffed with that Glenn, it looks amazing.

 

[T Bolt]

Thanks Vic

That's some excellent-looking paneling right there, Glenn! Very nice work.

Thank you, really won't have time for modeling anytime soon though I'm afraid. It'll get done at some point and I'll post pics when it is!

That has turned out great Glenn...!

agree with Geo, masterful masking Glenn

 

[Gnomey]

Looks good so far Glenn!

 

[Ralph Haus]

Humbled I say, humbled. You 'are' the masking guru.

 

[SaparotRob]

Watching and learning.

 

[T Bolt]

Thanks guys!
I have partial use of my hand back, so I managed a bit of work yesterday ang sprayed the de-icing boots on. it doesn't look like mush but there was quite a bit of masking involved to keep the overspray off the already finished surface. it's way easier to paint the deicing boots before the rest but unfortunately I didn't think of those 13 years ago.

Once again a sterling job Glenn.

 

[Gnomey]

Nicely done so far Glenn!
