Wooden floors done, was pretty simple - base coat of light wood color and then some experimenting with rust oil color. Seems enough for me, as most of it will be hidden inside.

It didn’t took long to first major build error come out 🙁 . I painted ball turret in olive drab, later I figured out it should be grey becouse its on underside of the plane. Luckily i was able to apply dilluted masking sol on windows, Tommorow I’ try to repair it.

Little bonus - idea how to display such a big model. After it’s photoshooting, The B-17 is hanging from the ceiling ”sitting” on the wall in my technical room above boiler. ;D

Beautiful internal details. It is a shame that all that hard work will be closed up.

Thank you for support, I've just uploaded remaining photos. Model was finished in January 2023, few weeks later I've become a father so new priorities came to my life. Now, more than year ago I'm partialy coming back to model making and realized that I didn't finished this project gallery. Thank you once again.
