Yes in spots heavy, but not that bad.......

 

[Wurger]

Looking good.

 

[B-17engineer]

Thanks... until the P-40 is done that's as far as I'll get!

 

[Crimea_River]

Not bad at all.

8)..

 

[B-17engineer]

Thanks Wayne!

Dry fitting the gunner seat. It throws you off...... because its like... backwards..

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Nice paint job H and I agree, the gunner ain't facing the right way. I wonder how many times the gunners of the Stuka shredded their own tail?

 

[B-17engineer]

That or fell of the back of it in a heated dogfight

Thanks also

 

[Wurger]

Harry are you sure it's the tail gunner's seat? If yes I think you took incorrect part. The seat looked different from I know.

Here you are an example.The pilot's seat on left and the tail gunner's one on right.

 

[B-17engineer]

I don't really know

It was the piece labelled "Gunners seat"

 

[Wurger]

I see. What about the second seat in the kit? How does it look like?

 

[B-17engineer]

Exactly like the one in the very nice diagram. I'll take pics soon, check out my thread with my favorite pictures from the trip! I'm trying to sort them and then I can get some work on the P-40

 

[Wurger]

OK.

 

[B-17engineer]

Dry fitted.... Both seats.

 

[Wurger]

Looking good. But why is the paint gloss?

 

[B-17engineer]

Thanks! I've just been doing bits and pieces. The headrest is painted brown on the pilots chair, It was hard with the Testors paint being so watery! But I did it.....

 

[Wurger]

I see but you should use matt paints.

 

[B-17engineer]

Matt paints? As in?

 

[Wurger]

Like in the pic below the diagram with seats. Can you see the difference. your floor and seats are too shiny.

 

[B-17engineer]

Oh, that's just wet paint. The camera created a shine.
