No, not realy, just minor thinghies, I'll keep on dryfitting a lot before I glue something down, I did the upper fuselage in parts from the cockpit down, and I had to correct it a bit by trimming the formers, but that way worked fine, Red River paper is kind of tricky, but it sure does looks good on the B 17

Fellow modelers,
I would like to announce that our colorful builder Boats will be joining Kevin and Billy in this build thread. I asked both if they would welcome Boats and they thought it was a good idea. This triple build will result in less time between progress reports and be more entertaining. Boats will be building the same color scheme as Kevin but at 1:33rd scale. The model being built by these three highly capable builders should be entertaining....Ron |

Yee Haa! A model building Ménage à trois. I'm not sure I have ever seen this on a forum!
(the phrase literally translates as "household of three". ) So don't get yourselves in a wad! Gotta love the barley wine~

I feel a joke coming on:
Q:"How many paper modellers does it take to build a B-17?" A: "(your punchline here)" Excellent work all around gentlemen! I hesitate to mention it, but Ron has indicated he's mailing me a printed set of this B-17G as well (1/40th scale. Thanks Ron!). That new printer of his is getting a thorough shake down. No expectation of me building it in the near future, so I will be living vicariously through all of your fine efforts here. Mike

I offered to build one in 1:72, with full interior as well, but Ron declined at the time. Offer still stands though, this looks like a great build!
