ManCityFan Hey Toshi, great job on that huge bird. Forts have a special place in my heart due to my father being in one during WWII. I really like the color scheme on this one. Again, great job, and thanks for posting your builds. Your friend, Dwayne

I’m Glad you like the color scheme of the B-17G called “Chow Hound” My heart was set on OD as I already owned a NMF Visible Monogram 1/48 B-17G Flying Fortress.
It is always my pleasure posting my builds. That’s how I learned. So I want to thank you for sharing the story of your dad with me as well as FSM Forum Members. I also want to thank you DMan for always supporting my builds over the last couple of years.
Your friend, Toshi

Dwayne or Dman or just D. All comments are welcome on my builds.
B-36Andy Looks very good!! Back in 89, I built 10 of these for the local library and got them to the stage of being painted with no decals. The library said they didn't want them at that point and I was moving across the country and didn't have room for 'em---So I left them all lined up in the backyard of my house and drove away--maybe someone appreciated 'em---- Good to see yours finished and valued!!

I‘m saddened that you had to leave them behind in such a manner. That’s really too bad and the library should be ashamed of themselves. I truly hoped that; ”Someone appreciated ‘em- - - -“ as you mentioned.
I too am happy that I finally completed my B-17G. It took a couple of months but it did get finished. I do value my builds and enjoy them greatly especially when FSM Forum Members like you sir whom support my projects and read and replies to my threads. I thank you B-36Andy.

ShipwreckAnother good one, Toshi. I love that B-17; I have three of them. You have encourged me to build one, someday!
mmthrax It turned out really great Toshi. How do eat a sub sandwich? One bite at a time. That is what you have done with this aircraft. Small bites brings the victory. Really happy for you......and inspired for me. Thanks for keeping us posted as you have kept moving forward. I wish you continued positivity. I do hope that the issues with Mrs. Toshi get sorted. I know how that stuff can weigh on the both of you. I'm sending you positive brain waves and my thoughts are with the two of you. Best regards, Mark

I really love the saying; “How do you eat a sub sandwich” as I’ve never heard this saying before. This is why I love FSM Forums as I learn something everyday. Thank you for your support, read, and replies, it’s greatly appreciated!
the Baron Well done, Toshi! I think you should caption your outdoor shots as "B-17G makes emergency landing on Greenland"

Thank you Uncle Jay Jay for the prayers for Mrs. Toshi. I love the name; “The Great Wall of Toshi”. And since you named it as such here is the complete wall. Thank you Uncle Jay Jay for your support in my; “The Great Wall of Toshi” and many more through the years!
Your nephew, Toshi
BrandonK Well done, Toshi. You've outdone yourself on this one. I hope you brace that wall, it may fall over with all that weight hanging on it. BK

I am not worried at all on bracing the wall! lol! lol! But I am seriously concerned about the 3M tape and hook/hanger I use to display my aircraft on the wall. Especially something as big as the Revell 1/48 B-17G.
Luckily, there’s a description on the hook/hanger box telling you how much the particular 3M tape can hold via ounces or pounds. I just always as a safety precaution purchase the 3M tape that can hold the maximum weight possible.
I don’t know if you recall my Revell 1/32 F-4 phantom, Hobby Boss 1/48 Black Widow, and my Revell 1/48 “Pheil” falling from my ceiling a few years back. I just want to prevent that from happening again. lol! Thank you BrandonK for everything you’ve done for me. It’s greatly appreciated!
Gamera She turned out great! Beautiful work!!! And my hopes and prayers for Mrs. Toshi's health.

You see, my memory is so bad that I’ll come back to the bench the next day and wonder what happened or what I did. So when I saw that I started to paint a part of this by hand I just kept going with it. lol! It’s like some of the weathering I did.
I thought I was just going to build a clean Flying Fortress until I saw that I scuffed parts of the plane up with a Prismacolor silver pencil so I just went with it. lol! lol! Gamera, Thank you for the support you’ve given me over the years. It’s highly appreciated. Also thank you for the well wishes of Mrs. Toshi!
scottrc Congrats Toshi on a wonderful finish. The pictures of it in the snow just seems to give it a feeling of pride, honor ,and duty, yet also shows the reality of cold, dread, and possibly death to those who had to work and fly in this plane.

The men whom indeed fly in this plane must have been extremely brave and as you said with; “Pride, honor, and duty,”. I did read that this particular B-17G did succumb and crashed in 1944. A sad ending to a magnificent crew. Thank you sir for the reminder of the horror‘s of war and the support you’ve given me through the years!
Love the pics of your model wall. We can call it The Great Wall of Toshi.
My prayers for you and Mrs, Toshi as always.
I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.
