OK. Then give it a polish with the toothpaste, or, much better, the 'T-Cut' or metal polish, to remove the Future. The sanding scratches have to be removed first, by using one of the above, then another dose to polish it. Then it goes in the Future, to make it shine.

Ohh I see. The bomb rack was added. I can't post pictures. Tied up with school now and just managing to get on for little bits of time.

 

[Airframes]

No probs H, there's plenty of time. School (unfortunately!) comes first.

 

[B-17engineer]

Yea! But here comes the weekend so hopefully when i finish the work I can post pics.

 

[Wayne Little]

Dry fitting.... the real fuselage halves will be a b!tch. The nose area especially

 

[B-17engineer]

Ok.... fuselage halves together. Had to us Plastic glue since no Super glue. Lots of tape and glue but she look not bad. Will remove tape tomorrow maybe ? To ensure she stays together. Windows are still a bit F***** but ah well.

I'm liking her a lot!

 

[B-17engineer]

Hahaha long lived. She took a nose dive off the workbench. Now 4 of 6 close parts are foggy ..... and a machine gun barrel broke. Just what I need. So two clear parts had the 'tabs' sanded off so I don't need to open the fuselage and I can just place them in. Other two are still in place and not bad. The barrel has been glued back. Now there is a bad fit so styrene had to be added to make it look 'right' again.

Boy I'm angry.........and hate clear parts.

 

[B-17engineer]

Windows will try when I have LOTS of time.

Here is the whole thing...

 

[Heinz]

[B-17engineer]
