John Dell's Pearl Harbor B17C in 1/87

[Burning Beard]

John, one of the advantages to the 1/87 is if you want to build a diorama the HO train modelers have thousands of items you can add, like people in natural poses.

I kind of figured that they didn't have the guns set up on her yet as they were just ferrying those B17Cs.

Thanks again guys,
Mike

I agree, HO scale is appealing just for the sheer volume and diversity of products. The same can be said for paper models, there are so many paper models of subjects one cannot find in any other medium in HO or any other scale. Scalability is one of card modeling’s biggest assets. This all inspired me to do this HO scale Stratoliner diorama. I look forward to seeing more of your HO scale builds.

I'm building another that is almost finished. Murph's early PBY, I'll probably have pictures up by the end of the week.

In the past, Leif Ohlsson did quite a lot of work in 1/87 and some of his models and reworks are available in the Download Section.

great looking airplane, love how the hood of your car looks like old tarmac in the pictures

Thank you, but that's not a car, it's a '66 Ford F100 It's easier to take pictures off of that than lay on the driveway, lol.
