This is beginning to look more like an organized, planned rendition of the field mods which were done in 1943 to the B-17E "Old 666".

Here's the six pack. This is one of the major Whiff aspects of this build.


Get some! Also cruising for B-17 info and found your excellent kit roundup on your site, Thank you for that! :bow:

Thanks for the comment. When I wrote that article back in 2006 I figured making a comprehensive list of all the accessories available for a 30+ year old mold would be a fairly safe undertaking. I mean, really, how many more detail sets could be made for this kit? Boy did I underestimate that! So much more stuff has come out since then, new decals, new Eduard sets, new landing gear sets (still no new nose pieces) and some great brass replacement guns from Master that I just can't keep up with updates to the article. Shock me in the head!

Well this one is done now. Remember, this is a salvaged kit that now caries well in excess of a hundred bucks worth of conversion goodies.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Very nice Swanny! :thumbsup:  Love all the detail, more than I'd ever the patience to do. :party:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
