With these pictures I am starting a project that I am deliberately building parallel to the Boeing 307 'Stratoliner': both aeroplanes are apparently based on the same concept and not only have identical designs, but also share components such as wings, landing gear and engines. The Academy kit has an excellent fit and a refreshing simplicity, so to speak: the interiors would be practically empty except for the simplest seats. So I borrowed a little from my etched parts box and fitted the metal seats with matching upholstery. It certainly looks better than originally! 🙂

The fuselage halves are now together - the accuracy of fit remains excellent...

Thank you mates!
The pictures are no longer up to date, but show an important step forward: all clear parts are masked!

To avoid giving the impression that nothing has happened: the first layer of Alclad 'White Aluminium' has already been applied over this black!

Now the B-17B has its NMF dress and will not take it off: in the meantime I have sprayed a layer of gloss paint so that I can start applying the decals tomorrow.

That makes me very happy - thank you!
A few quick pictures of the current state: I tried to apply the decals yesterday, but the Academy material turned out to be extremely brittle. The beautiful decal marking in red-white-blue on the rudder was a complete self-destructior - and that to such a clear and impressive extent that I even wanted to take a photo of it, because it looked funny 🙂
Well, no big deal, I'll just spray this part myself. In general, the photos make it clear that the decals need to be repaired or even redone in some places.

Many times it is better to paint instead of using some decals. Luckily that has an easy solution, Roland. You do much more complicated arrangements than this and always have very good results. Cheer up!

A few new pictures of the B-17B under construction: the tail is now in the characteristic red-white-blue colour scheme, now the phase begins in which the need for improvement and touch ups is recognised and the various small parts such as antennas, brake lines or the engines/cowling - well, here one can no longer speak of "small parts" due to the amount of etched parts. I can't wait to see how the clear parts have held up under the masking!

Die B-17B ist gestern fertig geworden; ein den letzten Tagen ein wenig foto-faul überfalle ich Euch jetzt mit den Bildern der fertig gestellten "Flying Fortress" in der ersten in Serie gebauten Version!
Wenn man so will, kann man sagen, dass die B-17 ein fotogenes Flugzeug abgibt; dazu trägt auch das blinkende NMF bei.
Die meisten Panel-Strukturen wurden nur mit unterschiedlichen Alclad- Metalltönen geschaffen, das Academy Modell selbst zeigt relativ wenig Strukturen
Ich bin jedenfalls froh, dass die ganze Abkleberei gut gegangen ist und die Klarteile zum größten Teil auch nichts an ihrer Klarheit eingebüßt haben. Bei den Fotos kommt ab und an als Größenvergleich eine Pilotenfigur und wie schon bei vielen 1:72 Modellen als "runing gag" mein Motorrad....
Ich hoffe die Bilder gefallen Euch so, wie mir der kurzweilige Bau Spaß gemacht hat- jetzt auf zum "zivilen" Bruder der B-17, der Boeing 307 Stratoliner!

My poor command of Tschürman tells me it's done - congrats, it looks very cool in this colourful NMF 👍

Your words are really much appreciated - I'm very happy about your recognition and the positive feedback, as you can imagine. I say a big thank you, mates!

Die B-17 ist super geworden! Ich mag die frühen Modelle mit ihren klaren fliesenden Konturen. Keine Türme nur Tropfenformen. 👍👍👍mal wieder ein kleines Kunstwerk!

Danke für die motiverende Rückmeldung! Du hast die Faszination, die von diesen klassischen Formen ausgeht, sehr gut beschrieben- sehe ich genau so!
Thank you for the motivating feedback! You have described the fascination of these classic shapes very well - I agree!

Contrary to another comment, my kit is complete (12 large wheels) and otherwise excellent.

This project has been waiting long enough, now the time has come! The "shell", seen here, is quickly put together, the glued seams are still wet, so to speak. I plan to show the A90 in a proper dio - gliding just above the water!

With these pictures I open the book report on Roden's Junkers D.1: I tried to extend the interior with some steel wire, the seat belts are from Eduard. For the detailing I downloaded the very interesting building instructions from Wingnut Wings for the large D.1 in 1:32, which is quite helpful if you want to have a good documentation as a basis for detailing. I'm also going to realise one of the WW variants, which I immediately liked: all in Dural/ NMF with only a minimal set of markings.
