DANKE SEHRRRR !!

That thing will become a white paint next week , like a Nasa or X- Project Plane .  I think about keeping the underside in silver ? 

[Wardukw]

Yup that's it !!!
Herr Noizer's build has given me the excuse to get off my arse and build my version of this sort of B-17.
I've had pics for yrs of other builders ideas and there all very similar.
Killnoizer mate yours is wayyyy above their ideas and I love that 😍
Mine will have 4 engines ..probably gas turbines ..if I can make em that is..it's 48th after all..next step is scoring some 48th B-29 propellers

Phill, there are a couple of free downloadable and printable Hamilton Standard props out there, easily scalable.
Somewhere to do the printing will still be an issue, tho.

If you're interested, I can flick you the links.

Edit: I forgot to say, they're 4-bladed ones.

I bought a can of WHITE today but it was not right .  Natural white isn't the way i want it .

Try to get signal white on friday at the shop and went forward than .  The masking Job for that is a lot of work.

After a hard week , a exploded clutch at the Truck on the highway and other trouble i come back to the modelbench and pushed the signal white button 

And keep it silver on the underside .

Ooooh so nice ! She's really looking good now !

[kerick]

Now you need some NACA decals

[killnoizer]

... i had a complete set of the NCC 1701 decals.  But i wanna do a plotted masking  + paint job without decals .  The endless rivets and decals are not so good together, but maybe I have to check that .

[PR19_Kit]

A veritable 'tour de force' of masking there! 

[killnoizer]

Yes , and I don't like that job in THIS SIZE , that's too much .

Unfortunately another , well known , problem happened .

The CARPET MONSTER was here .

All remaining clear parts of TWO kits where lost , i have spend two hours today for searching in every little box without any result . So I interrupt this build and think about some other new builds ,  as we know the lost parts will come back one day in an completely unexpected way and smile at you   

Maybe I continue a bit of washing and chipping at the club meeting this week , and try too keep cool .
The next idea is just to buy a third kit of that kind and get the parts plus another decal version . 

[killnoizer]

There .... And back again.

Mrs. Killnoizer is working sometimes on her B1 Lancer project , and the missing parts were hidden in that Box .  I'm not shure how to continue the B17 ,  for a between and final clear coat i have to mask the Windows again
