My B-17 Has its undercarriage down, and I positioned the camera so that it wansn't showing in the shots where it could have been, and otherwise you can just edit them out digitally...

I need a bit of help. My birthday is in 3 months and I have finished painting and decaling all my models (Except the P-40 for which I have lost the instructions.) I need an Idea for a model to request from my parents. I have only got 1 british, (But I'm going to do the P-40 as Brit though, so I guess that makes 2). I am thinking of getting another RAF or mabe a Japanese fighter... Any Suggestions on what I should ask for?

It would be a good idea...

However, I don't suggest you to get a 1:72 model. I made only one of them (a P-51D) and I found it tough to build up. Get a 1:48... It is not as big as a 1:32, but it is big enough to see details. (A 1:48 Spitfire will be approx. 8 inches long.)

The best thing in kits is that you have to make most of the details on your own. For me 1:48 is too easy, but making a full-detail equipped 1:72 Spit gives huge satisfaction.

Yes I use 1/48th scale too. I have around 20 models but theyre mainly Modern Era planes. I have nearer 40 models if you include the non-avation models.
