Boeing B-38 Whiffer Conversion in 1/72 Scale
This is a “What If” conversion of the Academy B-17 kit into what the B-38 project might have evolved into had it gone into production. I’m not sure what it would be called, I have been thinking of it as the “Frankenfortress” but [...]
Old-skool Monogram classic: the 1/48th B-17G Flying Fortress
Evening all.
My latest completion is a real classic: Monogram's 1975 edition B-17G in 1/48th scale. I actually started this a number of years ago for a previous B-17 Group Build, but got side-tracked and never finished it. However, I [...]

'What If' Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress Early production HK Models
Good day ,
after a long time I dared to show the finished model.
It's a B-17 from HK Models in 1/48.
Again, I'm excited about how well the model is made and how good it looks. It is a heavy and large piece of furniture.
For the first time, [...]
Video: Airfix 1:72 B-17G Flying Fortress
Okay, I wasn't expecting to build two B-17's this past year. I bought this in the early summer and the more I looked at the parts the more I wanted to build this kit! I guess in a way I couldn't resist as the B-17 is my favourite [...]
