Just about done with the stringers. The waist window and radio room window structure is complete. Next up....The gun mounts for the waist gunners.
I added some wiring to the vertical fin
Headed up north for the weekend. Happy holiday everyone. Stay safe!
Cheers

Novi, Mi
Yeah thats amazing, Your on to a show stopper for sure
Man, you've got way more patience than I've got. I dig the idea of having all the stringers where the cutouts are....awesome!!!!
The Right fuselage is almost done. I started adding the waist gun window last night. I'll finish that and add the radio room window tonight.
Rob, this is some truly amazing work. You've done a lot since I last visited this post.
Wow, rob, I'm getting caught up with your latest work and it's outstanding! I like your cutout method, too, it almost looks like panels removed for some kind of maintenance.
What did you use for the decking? Is that balsa or basswood sheet? That's a great idea, and it looks like plywood in that scale.
Yes, outstanding job!
Best regards,
Brad

B17Pilot Nice work. What size stringers did you use? Now I'm tempted to do the same thing on my next 17

Thanks. I'm using Evergreen Strips .010" X .020"
WOW thats simply outstanding work it looks incredible....
Wonderful work ! I like how you did the cutouts , very natural looking , and leaves intact the the clean lines of the aircraft, exellent.
Wish I had done that with my B-24J Witchcraft. I'm tempted to add the Revell 1/48 B-24D to my stash and detail up the interior as I did with Witchcraft. I would have to use your idea of removing certain panels to reveal the interior.
As far as the color of mentioned areas , aluminum stringers would be a great contrast. Most of what I've read on the subject of the various interior greens and aluminum of the day , a good study of references and an educated choice( guess) could very well be correct. If it looks right?
Looking forward to seeing more of this incredible build.

Thanks guys.
I tried out a new air brush yesterday with some zinc chromate. I'm not sure if these areas should be this color or not, so it's back too the books. I'm thinking the Life Raft Storage and inside the vertical fin are OK, but the stringers might be bare aluminum.......
HOLY.... excellent work! You have superb patience!
Lancair I have been following this build from the start, havent commented much because well I just cant think of anything to say other than WOW!!!!!.
Randy So many to build.......So little time
This should be excellent when complete! What an opus.

This is an epic build! My hat off to you sir.
I love the smell of plastic in the morning
Wow! Awe inspiring work, I will follow this build closely.
Started the right fuselage today. The nose is almost complete, radio and waist continue, but again, I ran out of styrene. I bought the last 2 packages from my LHB. I just ordered 8 packages from Tower Hobbies. Should be here by Tuesday. (I hope).....
Melgyver Your detailing is looking great! Here is a shot of my detail for the top of the radio room gun mount for an "F". Interior structure would be the same for late "F's" and "G's".

That looks great Melgyver. The "G" I'm modeling does not have that gun. I wish it did now!
Clear Left!

And the stringers continue......
This is the Life Raft Access Door and Life Raft Compartment
Vertical Fin structure
Just catching up on this thread and saw mention of covering the inside wing filet area. I trimmed up the wing mounting tabs a bit and used some available thin plastic and detailed it with stringers. Shot of my scratch built bomb bay area with lifte raft compartment up top for a visible side I planned to scallop paint job revealing the inside detail areas but covering less detailed areas. One of my many unfinished projects waiting on retirement!
Time for a trip to the hobby shop. I'm out of stringer material. LH waist, radio room and nose are complete.
WOW! You are doing a lot to this one. Can't wait to see more.
RH nose stringers almost complete
