coming on well Nick.
where did you get the true details update sets got a few 1/48 B-17's in my loft would be nice to get these kits as judging from you build up shots they add a whole wealth of detail that's missing from the kit good luck with the rest of the build mate. Ant

Holy Cow! You work fast dude! I'm impressed with how much you've gotten done, there's no way I could build that fast... I like what I see though, keep it up!

(Except from updating to pro!)

maybe you could try a different photo site or maybe a new account? I have never seen that before!

You get a monthly bandwidth of 10Gb per month, so I would suspect that too many people have been viewing your photos
(that may not be linked fto this forum)
This is from Photobucket's help on bandwidth
Quoted Text
View Your Account Bandwidth
Bandwidth is used when digital content is viewed from a link you posted on another website or sent in an email (e.g., MySpace, eBay, message boards, etc.). Bandwidth is a measure of the number of bytes passed over time via direct linking. It is calculated by adding up the size of each of your images or videos as they are sent from Photobucket. The “Monthly Bandwidth" number is the amount of bandwidth you have used within the last month. The month is determined by the day of the month you registered your account.
Example
Bandwidth usage is un-metered for Pro accounts, however Photobucket reserves the right to disable direct linking on accounts that use excessive bandwidth or are otherwise abusing the system. Free accounts are allowed 10 GB of bandwidth per month. 10 GB is hundreds of thousands of images viewed via direct links, and the value resets each month on the anniversary of the day you registered.
Bandwidth resets each month on the anniversary of the day you originally registered.
Example: You registered on the 5th of June, and your bandwidth will reset on the 5th of each month thereafter.
View your bandwidth
Log into your Photobucket account.
Click My home. Your Latest activity page displays.
Look at the Account usage panel to see the storage and bandwidth used by your account. This panel ONLY displays for free accounts. Pro accounts can see their bandwidth on the Account status page in Account settings. See Review your account status for details.
Exceeded Bandwidth Message
If you have a Photobucket account:
Log into your Photobucket account.
Check your Monthly Bandwidth usage in the Account Usage panel on your My home: Latest activity page. If you’ve exceeded your limit, the usage bar is red, and the logo replaces your images and videos.
Note: When you upgrade to Pro, or when your monthly anniversary date arrives, the bandwidth resets to zero, and your images redisplay.
If you did not exceed the monthly bandwidth allowance, or you are not a Photobucket member, you probably have an image or video incorporated in your MySpace background (or other website) that is hosted in a Photobucket member's album which has exceeded the bandwidth allowance. Remove the code that was linked from Photobucket to prevent the logo from displaying.
You can avoid exceeding bandwidth when you get a Pro account, which has un-metered bandwidth. However, Photobucket reserves the right to disable direct linking on accounts that use excessive bandwidth or otherwise abuse the system.
If you are not a Photobucket member, consider joining Photobucket and using your own account to host the images you want to display around the web.
I hope this helps explain it

Maybe it reset at the end of the 7th rather than the start

UPDATE
I took these photos today, because I'll be travelling to Crete for holidays tommorow !
As you can see, I have made some great progress on my Fortress
The whole beast (I have not added the height wings yet)
Some details I have added, either p.e. or Scratchbuilt from plasticard.
The landing gear, which I detailed, using copper wire, and also cut out the large locating pins, and added smaller ones from toothpick, to fit the new resin wheels I'll add later.
The landing flaps by eduard.
I detailed all 4 engines, using copper wire. Not a fast job, since there where 72 cables to be added
And a size comparison !!

I have been watching your build closely Nick. Excellent work so far. Just one question, what is the wire going down to the tailwheel for?
Cheers

Great work on a great subject! This is truly Monogram's masterpiece... Superb work on the engraving!
I recommend using "Masters" brass MG barrels and Squadron clear parts.
Can't wait to see it go forward...

Hello everyone. I'm back in Athens
@ Mr. Ray: Thank you very much
@Mr. Warren: Thank you very much. I added the wire because, I saw one, in a photo, somewhere. It also adds a lot to the detail in this area
@Mr. Chuck: Thank you very much. Greetings from Athens to Los Angeles
@Mr. Gaston. Thank you very much you too. I can't use AM clear parts, because kit one are already glued, HARD ! I can now see most the interior using a flashlight & I'll also buy some small telescopic mirrors. Kit barrers are also glued and cannot be removed. I wish I have bought the brass barrels too, but they are too expensive. Although MG's are fine detailed with the resin parts & kit barrels are very nice anyway

@Mr. Gaston:Thank you very much you too. I won't add A/M clear parts because kit clear parts, are glued HARD ! I am able to see the interior using flashlight, and I'll also buy a telescopical based mirror. I can't change the kit barrels because: Kit barrels are already, very nice. Brass barrels are too expensive. And, MG's have already been detailed using resin parts
