Ken,

1:48th B-17?  Surprise  That thing will be huge!  (Well, not as big as the 1:32nd one, but still...). 

Hope you didn't have to disinfect her before building (judging by the can on the right side).  Wink

Yea, it will be pretty big Gary LOL But, The PBY I built was 1 48 scale too. I like the big ones. I'm also getting a 1 72 scale B-52. They didn't make those in 1 48 scale Crying darn it. But, I guess that's a good thing. My apartment isn't big enough. LOL

No, That disinfectant is for my dust bunny allergy. I wish it was for the Flying Fort. Oh well thats life. Most of the time, It's not too bad

I made a master and then vacuformed a mid range Vega window. If I ever finish it, I think it will look fairly close. The other windows are Plexiglas, filed to conform with the contours of the fuselage. I will mask then to get their final shape. Hope this picture works!

Hello all I know it's bin a long time since I've posted anything. But my grand fother passed and he was my influence for building his B-17. After a couple of years of letting them site on the shelf I've dicided to get them done. Where I left off I was trying to find the decals of the 96 BG and 339 BS. Never could get them and it it the same now. The Kits Worlds makes a bunch of letters and numbers. But they are never in stock. Anyone have any ideas?
