Well, I'm going to attempt the Boeing Model 299, a model I don't think I've ever seen built before apart from this one by the designer.

It will be my biggest and most complex Fiddlers Green model so far, I just hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew!

Nice choice, just chew longer and slower until all done!

It looks a nice choice. that colour looks great in that photograph

Fantastic!

You know, I was going to do either the 299 or the Ju-52 (civil version) myself. I went for the JU, and now your gonna do the 299, and we are both doing them "stock"!

Funny how things work out sometimes. I still plan on building the 299 sometime in the future, so this will be a great way to see how its done.

It looks great on my printouts too, doctormax. I considered the Ju-52 too Tim, amongst others, but instead plumped for this one in the end purely for the reason that no one else had built it before - plus of course it's kinda cool looking

. I have high hopes that this will be a relatively problem free build (after all it was designed by John Dell) but wish me luck anyway!

That's a nice aircraft. I thought about doing it, too. Isn't it basically a B-17? Looks a lot like it.

It's the B-17 prototype, more info here https://www.fiddlersgreen.net/models...oeing-299.html

Cool !!!

I love prototypes and this one looks very interesting. Looking forward for your build.

I agree the only one I've seen build is the one in the FG page.

Very interesting I follow this build...

This would be another good Red River silver paper candidate. Would be a very stunning model as such.
