Ratch Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 Time to get the internals in. I did several dry-fits and had a problem with a gap in the upper joint. Much sanding and paring of the rear bomb bay bulkhead (part D01) ensued to enable the fuselage to meet. I could then apply glue. I did tape the fuselage together while the glue set and opened it up again to continue with the internals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratch Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 Thanks for your interest Paul. I'd already bought the kits individually, but had to get this one too for the Chelveston decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SD45elect2000 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Nice build so far !! I have the same kits, I think two of the B-17G resupply kits. I also bought the aftermarket photoetch for them, Looking at the build however it does not look like the etch is going to add much to these kits, maybe a wasted my money ?Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 Cheers Randy, I'm not a fan of etch and only use it when unavoidable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneth ONeill Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I see your point Ratch. I'm really not a fan of pre-miscoloured tampo-printed etchings or of the use of a single thickness of flat shim stock to represent something that should be a round section.
