Still Too Many Props GB - 2013

Thank you Len :)

Hey my friend! That looks awesome! Took a long time to finish but well worth the wait!

Thanx Theuns :)

Dang those water stains look good, nice build.

Theuns

Surely out of time for the badge but let you know i finished the sunderland about a month ago

nope, never signed in the GB the B-29.. was not in my plans before january 

Ok lets return on the sunderland for the GB 

Well technically the GB ended in Jan. so it is closed for new builds. If it is currently on the list, you are more than welcome to finish the build and add updates here.

I finally got my airbrush back and am in the process of painting my B-26, then I saw I still need to do seam work (it never ends!)

Perfect work on the B-17 Trey and good outdoor pictures 

Good updates on the Hs-129 Taxp 

Totally forget to post old updates of the sunderlannd.. also hope to unfreeze it soon

After consulting better references i inverted the way of cables for engines operator 

now they ends to the top

Sterted also to detail pilots walls with some wire/plastic stripe

Added the cables to the IP

Bombs glued and primed

Also working on a B-29A academy, Korean War version, can i add to the GB too? 

Looks awesome TREY!

It was definitely worth the wait! That's one awesome looking B-17!

Great looking build TREY, and good to see you back.

My apologies for the long delay in updates. Finally finished up this project,hope it was worth the wait.

Thanks for all the support and patience

No, I contacted Badger and they said it was a warranty part that was on the inside of the brush. I mailed it in on last Friday, so I have to wait for it to return. Pretty good deal, lifetime warranty, just pay for shipping both ways!  I'll probably have the C-47 I've started, ready to be painted by the time it gets back, who knows

Did you get it going B17pilot ?

Here's some more progress, but I seem to have lost the tail wheel :(

Looking good Taxtp!

I have had a stoppage in my B-26. Went to paint it and had a major failure of the airbrush, no paint was coming out. Dunked it in paint remover to remove any dried paint that might have built up, but still no paint coming out. Might have to send it in for repair, and I even have nice weather at the moment. Nuts!

Here is the progress on my Henschel 129. It will get some primer this morning. I only added some P/E Extratech harnesses, as I think it's too obvious if they are missing.

Cheers

Tony

I've started on my Henschel 129. It's the Tamiya 1/72 kit, which is really the Italeri kit. The only glue so far is to the wing upper and lower halves, but most of the parts are off the sprue. WIP photos to follow.

Cheers

Tony

Looking nice there BS, I do like those extinguishers. I didn't bother adding them to the He 111, but I will certainly be giving your process a go in a future build.

Great works on the turrets Trey :)

Hi Everyone,

I'm running out of time for my Marauder, and my bench time hsa dried up a bit due to other things. Can I change it to a 1/72 Tamiya Henschel 129 please. It's a crossover with the Reich Defenders IV GB.

Cheers

Tony

Well, just didn't want you to place the wrong letter on it. Which aircraft are you doing. I think the most well known one from there is A Bit o Lace. Even though they are not Norfolk bases, I have been thinking about doing B-17's from the 3 bases close to us.

Bish you're right my bad it is a K !

I've got the turrets wrapped up using the metal upgrade gun barrels,must say they are worth every penny!

447th, nice. They were based at Rattlesden, one of the 3 airfields close to where I live. I pass through the village often on my way to work.

But the 447th used a square K, the square H was used by the 338th at Knettishall.

Clemmens thanks

Bish thanks ,yea I too would like to tip my hat to the precut mask inventor! Its from the 447th Bomber group ,still trying to locate some decals too. No luck finding the white square with the dark blue 'H' in it!

I am speechless. You guys are doing some amazing stuff here!

That's two stunning builds there guys.

BS, that's a lot of cables going into that. Your certainly pulling out all the stop's, and TREY is right, its defiantly paying off.

TREY, nice to see her with some paint on. I would love to meet the guys who invented ready made masks.

Not sure if you have mentioned before, what unit markings are you putting on this one.

Schattenspartan thank you kindly!

Bsyamato you're really tweaking the details on this,awesome!

I tackled the dreaded turret masking this session

Masked off the Deice boots and got those painted

Trey: It's great to have you back! Your B-17 looks amazing!

Yamato: You are doing some incredible work there! Most impressive stuff!
