You are all very kind. Thank you.
As for the dust from sanding I plan to be very very careful. I painted prior to closing up the fuselage to try to keep from overspray on the interior. I hope I can run with it.
The door in the floor is for the camera set up.
Gold anyone can do this. Anyone. And most would do it much much better than I am.

I went and got a package of two 16x16x1 soft foam chair pad material from the fabric section of Wally World. Can slice to size and thickness and is easy on internals on the Betty I'm doing. Might help with the sanding dust and o/spray
That is a really good idea. May have to give that a shot.
Well my friends the end is coming closer.The seams are cleaned up. They are resprayed the base colors. The De Icing boots are painted. Overspray has been cleaned up. (I think) Some pictures prior to a gloss coat and then decals.I do believe there will be one more update before this goes dark. All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged.Joe
I can't believe how fast you are putting this together. Is Toshi helping? LOL. Looks good man.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Many thanks.
Once I got into the installation of the subassemblies and the closing of the fuse it goes very quickly.

That's hilarious!
This build is really looking nice. I thik the faded OD looks just right for a bird that's been busy flying missions! This is such a cool project. Have you figured out how you're going to photograph the interior parts through the openings (are you even going to try or use your WIP pics)?

Rob many thanks. Not sure of that. I have a decent camera but It does not do close ups all that well.
Decals.We have markings on Chowhound. They were a bit fiddly and took several sessions with decal solvent to get them to snug down but they are on. And now she goes dark. More will be posted following a yeah or nay. All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged.Joe
Joe - Positively YEAH, let's see more of this brute. What a guy, what a project, what a tribute to the old '17.

Glad to see it! It's looking good. Can't wait to see how it ends =D

It looks fantabulous!!!!
You did justice to the exterior as much as you did with the interior. What an amazing masterpiece.

Wow! I've been watching this with interest and I must say you've done an excellent job on this. Very well done Joe.

Very kind.
Thank you.
Awesome! You mentioned trouble with close up pics. Your camera should have a Macro setting which will help in that regard. I look forward to the finished 17.

Joe it should yes. I seem to be having trouble getting it to work though. Not sure why but with this camera close ups are an issue. I have tried taking pictures with each of the pretuned settings and get nowhere. I think I have been shown an alternative though. Going to give it a try soon.
Just got caught up on this build...one word...Wow!
Fantastic work, sir...can't wait to see more pictures!
