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!

A few first pictures of the 'Stratoliner': in contrast to Academy's B-17B, this kit shows a love of detail, but the accuracy of fit has gone to hell. The parts are also very roughly moulded and all have to be shaped with a scalpel and sandpaper. Nevertheless, the whole thing is great fun - the Boeing 307 not only seems to be big, but also quite voluminous thanks to the shape of the fuselage!

Great! I have the military version, so I can't miss this one.
Roland, I'm sure that after the Mil Mi twins you'll be able to do this without so much effort.
Good start! 👍

Thank you, mates, for these encouraging words!
Cuajete, a C-75 version will follow in a few days as a contract build. I'm glad to have already had some experience with this not entirely un-tricky kit.

A little filling here, a little sanding there.... and everything will be fine.

Roland, I'll be happy to see that C-75 🙂
The cracks between the pieces in this kit are huge. But you are a great, experienced tamer of crowding plastics. Cheer up!

Good prayers are welcome!
Something is happening here too: wings and fuselage have found each other - now I have to find the tube of filler!

Roland, this seems much worse than the Mil Mi. It should be a crime to sell these sufferings with all the money they cost and a monument should be made for you for what you are capable of doing by transforming the beast into beauty.
Cheer up!

Thank you all mates!
I like the thing with the monument.... I can already see the plaque on it: 'donated by the grateful putty industry'.
But what can I say: the C-75 arrived today.... and will soon be joining its civilian sister on the workbench.
There are a few things that I would like to do completely differently on this second run. For example, the fuselage windows: I'm going to make them from scratch out of clear film I cut myself..... that will - must!- simply look better!

Well it's not a Bandai... It's more like a Bandaid kit. Nothing a lot of super glue can't fix!

Putty queen! But the whole thing is actually half as bad, I'm already looking forward to the wet sanding.
