BRAND NEW B-17 KIT !!!

Manstein's revenge

fermis:

B17Pilot:

Kinda of hoping someone relases a decal sheet of all of the restored Forts that are still flying, that would be really cool!

 

This kit comes with decals for "Nine O Nine"....there's a start anyway, and of course "Memphis Bell" is all over the place!

I've started mine and will have a wip going late tonight or in the A.M.

 

Sorry, I died for a little while! Worked way late, lack of sleep caught up to me, woke up late, a bunch of other crap to do, I'll have it going this evening!

I don't do 72 scale, but now I'm thinking of getting the kit if it has 909 decals.  Now how about Sentimental Journey, Fuddy Duddy, Texas Raiders, etc.

If somebody builds "nine o nine" please post pics. I have seen and been in it and thought it was really cool. It dosent come back until october so i wont have anything fresh in my mind, but i have a picture of it and 2 other restored planes

Damned world one month ago i brought the old b-17f academy from a friend... cheaper than the revell kit but no confrontation for details (no internal details inside for the structures)

here a link from german modelling site for the new kit from revell, good pictures of sprues

Manstein's revenge

I like "Windy City" and "Gee Whiz" on that sheet---I think these are ficticious planes used in the movie "Memphis Belle"

 

They are the ficticious planes from the moive, well except for "Sally B," she's a restored Fort based in the UK.  Still I might have to go and get one of those sheets.

sure thing!

Absolutely,, and thank you for the information!

yeah the list price on scalehobbyiest.com  was 26.94 but with shipping it came out to be 35.89. Still cheaper than than squadron.

Owl,,,   you got the kit for $26.00,   correct?

I was just telling one of my local modelers about the kit and that it looked pretty nice....  if I tell him it is less than $30.00 he will jump all over it!

just got mine today! and it comes in a big box....much larger than some of the 1/48 kit boxes i have! There is a 16 page booklet included with over 90 steps (!!)   IM looking forward to this one!!

Will HAVE to get one of these babies.........   (maybe 2 !)

Cool decals for this kit:

 OOOOOOoooo! I like "Sally B"!

 Got one of these on the way too, was kinda thinkin of doing "Mount'n Ride".

Cool decals for this kit:

I have one in the mail.    I would be interesting in a GB if one is decided so that noone else can have the ugliest build of the group!  Also, I am interested in what photo etch is going to be available.

You have a point. :)

Sounds like a nice kit.  But I just can't do 1/72 anymore.  I wish Revell would put out a 1/32 B17F.  They don't jack up the prices the way some other manufacturers do.  But it's like lately, they haven't even been trying to compete.  Just keep putting out the same old kits with different graphics on the Decals.

Yes they do. They have a 1/48 PV-1 Ventura due out soon, RG just released a 1/32 Arado AR-196, and a 1/32 He-111 is due out this year as well. I would hardly call that not competing. And I am glad they are re popping the older kits because that guts the gougers on Ebay.

for that price, I went and bit the bullet. When is the next time that kit will be 40% off?! 

never mind that I cant build it until we move and I am reunited with my supplies.....but it will be so sweet just to look at the pretty pieces! If that 1/72 GB ever materializes, Im in!!!

for only 26 dollars

Eduard has gotten this thing down to a science...often, model companies will cooperate with AM companies becuause in the long run it is a win-win for both companies, so they give them acces to plans and test shots so the pipeling for these new AM products is much shorter than in the past...

 I kid you not...!! When I talked to Ron who owns the LHS, he had just gotten off the phone with one of his ditributors and said that a PE set is in the works and should be out within a month..

 And I said the same thing as you did to me.... Wow look how fast huh?

 All I have to say is that my LHS got a dozen of these lil gems in today and I'm pickin mine up tomorrow :-) From what I can see, RG did a great job over all but there is a weird seam/panel line in the area of the bombardier section that incorporates the glass... That's just a minor detail.

 I still can not believe that there is a PE set already in the pipe line and will be out shortly lol

 So looking forward to having one of these!! Now I will be able to do my uncles ship from the 92ndBG

Surely you can't be serious. A new PE set for this kit and it (the B-17 kit)only hit the US markets this week?
