here is my completed version of chowhound. thanks for looking.



joe

looks nice,do you have any more closeup pics?
i cant tell much from here.
but i would suggest putting some exhaust marks on the engines,as they seem a bit clean.

Nice looking fort Joe ! What kit did you use to build the Chow hound? If you can, post more pics, I love seeing forts!

Cheers,

Garry

thankyou for the kind comments. although it doesnt show i did use chalks for exhaust stains. they are under each wing. now here are some further pics. two things. i forgot to put the number on the tail and i forgot to take the mask off the tailgunner position. both have been corrected.

this is the revell/monogram 1/48 b-17g.

Nice model, but one question, which will show this treadheads ignorance when it comes to planes. The gun position on the bottom seems to be awfuly close to the ground. I would hate to sit in there during a landing . Is it retracktable?

Cheers

henk good catch. it turns out the belly turrent sits way too low for the plane. it actually rests on the surface as well as the wheels. didnt catch that until right at the end of the build. if you look you can see the wheels are flatspotted on the wrong side also. not by me they were made that way. but overall a good build.

joe

awesome awesome awesome model dude. i think it would look cooler if you put silver on the nose cups for the props and then on the engines put the yellow and black checkers. Im sure you have a reason why its not on there maybe different squadrons had it?
