Thank you for providing the final summary of Ron's project.
It was doomed for failure from the beginning, primarily because Ron did not listen to comments. He was set in his way ( he was a "my way or the highway" kind of a person ). It was impossible to cooperate with him because he constantly berated people.
I brought to his attention the numerous technical errors including the shape of the nose, windshield etc.... He just dismissed it all.
On top of that he was bent over to keep to his method of building which was foolish since every builder had their own method of building and no designer should force builders to one way.
I did see other builds of this model ( like Deckape aka Boats ), but the end result still did not represent the B-17 properly.
I agree that there are better B-17 models out there, and that Ron's version is just a dead end attempt.
Anyhow, Lets move on to better designs.
