Excellant repaint! Good philosophy on the interior, why go into details no one will see!

Moshe, This is a great build. You are doing an excellent job. I've always enjoyed reading about the B-17s of the IAF. This is a great subject. Thank you for sharing it with us.

first canopy mold terned out bad and distorted the second one i have incorperated the canopys former and got it right.making the canopy was very easy with heat from the toaster oven .after that i diped them in Sano super polish which is a little diffrent then future but thats what i have but this stuff has done the job nicely.this what it looks like.

next is the back of the fusealag .i have made some adjustments to this part so ti will fit the palne im modeling ...the windows are somewhat bigger and wider (no glass) and they are not parallel to each other.beacause of this i decided to cover the interior so it will not show whit inside (nothing fancy or complicated -just a whit killer).
allso the opening for the rear gunner is too small so i had to enlarge it.
last three pictuers show all the fusealag parts allmost ready to assmble.

Beautiful job. It's going to be a great model!

Great project Moshe! I too have the GPM B-17 and echo Jon Dell's assessment of it. The green they used for the interior is beyond fantasy.

Definitely a case of turning a sow's ear into a silk purse. Stunning work.
