These are encouraging words - thank you for them!

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!

Zbynek Honzik
Fantastic job in this scale and with this kit, Roland! 👏👏👏

Roland Sachsenhofer
I really appreciate your words, thank you!

Guy Rump
Impressive job. 👍

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you both for this motivating feedback, mates!

Bruce Huxtable
Watching with interest, Roland. The fine details do indeed look great, so I'm hoping everything goes smoothly, and can't wait to see how you make them unique 🙂

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you very much for these motivating words!

Łukasz Gliński
Well done, pic #9 looks so real 👍

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you for your words and appreciated comment!

Bernhard Pethe
Ich will die Euphorie nicht dämpfen, aber mir ist aufgefallen, am Heckrotor sind zwei Fehler verbaut. Zum einem ist die Drehrichtung des Heckrotors falsch und die Rotorwelle ist viel zu lang. Vielleicht kann man das noch ändern? Ansonst, bei diesem Bausatz, eine schöne Fleißarbeit.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Hallo Bernhard, ich danke Dir als Kenner der Thematik für die wichtigen Hinweise. Nachdem ich auch noch zwei Mi-10 vorhabe, freue ich mich, jetzt besser informiert zu sein! Euphorie gefällt mir auch- danke für den wirklich hilfreichen Kommentar!

Hello Bernhard, as an expert on the subject, thank you for the important information. As I'm also planning two more Mi-10s, I'm pleased to be better informed now! I also like Euphoria - thanks for the really helpful comment!

Just remember not to use it in a sunny room - it can cure before you spread it 🙂

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you for the tip! I will also keep my sunny disposition in check

Mr D

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you for your appreciated comment!

Roland Sachsenhofer
The first construction photos after priming in glossy black clearly show that a lot still needs to be done here!

Ekki
Beauty indeed!
Again excellent work and presentation!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you very much for your encouraging words, Ekki!

Clifford Keesler

Roland Sachsenhofer
Hello mates, I am deeply impressed and very pleased with your feedback! You can of course imagine how such interested and appreciative feedback can spur you on and make you a little proud. Thank you all for your interest and appreciation!

Ekki
Excellent work! Very well done!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Ekki, thank you for this motivating comment!

Mike Montgomery
I really loved building that kit. The 415 is also worth the build.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you very much for your comment, Mike!

Pietro De Angelis
Amazing work as always, congrats!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you very much, mates! I am delighted that you have dug up this "oldie". When I see it freshly unearthed, I'm surprised once again at how unusual this construction was!

Rogerio Marczak
Hi Roland. Excellent job on a massive kit. I have the same kit, and you mentioned elsewhere that a company is now producing replacement clear parts for the turrets. Would you mind sharing which company? I think I cannot live with those seams... Thank you, and congratulations.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Hi Rogerio, thanks for your words, I appreciate them! Look, if you follow this link here on scalemates, you will come to the aftermarket manufacturer mentioned:
MPC 5800-5 Tail Turret for B..d War Studio CWS32006, 1:32)

Zbynek Honzik
Great result, Roland! And really nicely photographed. You have my admiration for finishing this kit so nicely. 👏👏👏

I just have one technical comment, especially if you want to build Z-37 from Eduard.
All Bumblebees Z-37 or even Z-137 had a front transparent part of the cockpit made of a single piece of bent Plexiglass. There was no paint at the bend between the front rectangular section and the side triangular sections. Behind the clear Plexiglas, the tubes that supported the cockpit roof were visible and were the color of the interior. I am attaching here a link to a photo which should make it clear what I mean:
planespotters.net/ph..titled-let-z-37-melk
Even the masks from Eduard are wrong and can be misinterpreted that in bending you need to paint the column in the livery color. Try to find more photos. And fingers crossed with the other builds. It's a pleasure to watch all your threads and topics. 👍

Roland Sachsenhofer
Hello Zbynek! Thank you for this great tip! The pictures in your link show exactly what you mentioned - and prevent me from repeating the mistake - I look forward to applying your good advice to the two "Bumblebees" soon. Thank you for your words!

Nick Dragone
Thank you. I have a few display cabinets now and like the idea of rotating the pieces !

Roland Sachsenhofer
With pleasure - I wish you a good solution!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you for the "like", mate!

Dave Flitton
