BOEING B-17 G - "Flying Fortress"

Hello

After the sea it is now again in the air.

On the plan is the Flying Fortress of GPM which is not so much Detailed, but will work more through your size.

On ten arches you will find about 450 parts as well as four sides with building sketches. I do not use laser parts, only the pulpit I bought.

I am already looking forward to the construction of the great bird.

Best regards
Kurt

Hello friends ,

here we go .
I start with the construction section A, the cockpit, which is quite simple. Parts A to A 10 result in the cockpit.

Kind regards from the Steiermark of Kurt

Hi Kurt,

I will be following your build with great interest! Bought this model a few years ago (including the laser cut set and vacuumed nose dome) and found the level of details, especially the interior, somewhat disappointing.
Started working on adding more realism to it but lost interest in the model after some time. It's still patiently waiting in a drawer. John Dell's B17G is the perfect alternative for a smaller bird as the wing span of the GPM model is something like 1m or so.

Good luck with your build, the start is very promising!

Cheers,
Erik
