Hi Ian,

For the fuselage windows they are all in one row as a giant rectangle, not seperate. And thanks Wayne!

My 1/72 is the same way for the main windows but some are individual pieces

 

[B-17engineer]

Yes, same here. Anything not like right next to the other is separate

I just got my first clear part in without getting glue on it!! Yeah!!

It was just a window to the cabin doors that won't be seen when done but still! Now I know how to get them on!

Way to go! Looks like a great kit Harrison, and you have made a real neat start. Looking forward to more progress!

Cheers

If you're worried about getting glue/cement on small window transparencies, either in 'strip' form or as individual items, there are a couple of ways tp solve this.
1) Place the window(s) in position and, using a thin, old brush, put a very small drop of thin liquid cement on one edge of the recess. The cement should run around the part, in the recess, by cappilliary action. Repeat as/if required.
2) Alternatively, run very thin beads of Micro Kristal Kleer, Humbrol Clear Fix, or PVA adhesive around the reccess, place part, wipe off excess with wet finger, and leave to set (approx 20 minutes). If required, re-inforce with a small spot or two of cement, although this is rarely required, unless handling over the part expected.

I will try this Terry! Basically did the first one with putting it in position and ran liquid cement.. pics soon.

 

[B-17engineer]

Ok... pic one.. instrument panel. All sources say black. Next is add the throttle and what not in between and dry brush a couple instruments.

Then I added the foward bulkhead, cabin doors, and control yolks.

Next up.. drilling holes for seats, and pilot and co pilot seats.

Nicely done H.

 

[B-17engineer]

Yes! Yes! Yes!

I crushed the radio operators seat by accident but 3 hours of sanding, gluing and cutting I managed to save it!!! I know some of the experienced modellers are like 'psh thats an easy fix' but, now I have the self confidence I can do it!

Ok my little being full of myself is over.

Thanks also David.
