BK,
Man! She turned out beautiful, even with the mishaps you had early on with the Alclad! My hats off to you sir! Well done!
On the Bench: Lots of unfinished projects!
Very nice. Now:
1. What aftermarket sets would you recommend for this kits? and
2. I'd love to see a tutorial or article about how you made the wing lights. They look great.

As far as AM parts, that's totally up to you. From what I've learned this would take kindly to just about anything you throw at it. The question is, how much work do you want to do? Personally, If I were doing another closed fuselage, I'd skip doing much (inside), it just gets lost. I'd spend my time in the bombadiar section, cuz you can see that, and on the exterior where it needs some love.
The kit desperately needs landing lights. It also needs screens over all the holes in the wings, which I didn't do, but the visible will have that. And I would make sure she had a beautiful paint job. It all depends on your level of commitment. It's a big plane and takes a lot of work just to get it painted. Plan on 5-10 times as much work as a fighter without doing anything special.
As far as a tutorial, I could work something up.
Thanks for the kind words.
BK

Gorgeous, gorgeous build, and this was an experiment for the visable one?, WHOA NELLIE !
i am so looking forward to that one as well !
I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.
Great NMF paint.
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!

Thanks Joe, I'm pretty happy overall. It turned out pretty decent.
Hey Brandon,
I'm late to the party on this but wanted to make sure I lolled in to say I think you really did an amazing job on this, and that was a really nice save with the Alclad.
Can't wait to see the next one!

Your comments and questions are always welcome.
This B-17 build has to be one of the best here on this forum. I anxiously await the visible B-17!
Most impressive. Most impressive indeed.
