The B-17 is a fun build, I just paint the wood, most of the interior work won't be visible once the halves are glued together and I usually leave the window in but that's builders preference.

As Hans told me do not use balsa as it does not make the correct grain. So I used what he told me which was basswood that Hobby Lobby has with balsa.

B 17 INTERIOR
Posted by PANZER826 on Saturday, February 11, 2012 7:47 PM

Ok so I'm starting on the interior of the 1/48 Revell B-17.  Going thru these forums it sounds like the floors of the B-17 were wood.  Do the majority of you use real wood (like Balsa) or do you just paint simulated wood grain on the styrene?  Also do you usually put the windows in by the waist gunners or leave them out???
