The last pic shows it alongside my Revell B-17G built years ago. I really should have a go at one of those 1/48 HK kits. π
A superb result, Paul!
Well done, Paul. Like the overall look. It looks nice next to the NM one.
Looks great !
Very well done, Paul. You nailed the weathered olive drab perfectly on such a big model.
Great build Paul. Excellent representation for the crew that you mentioned. Nice one π
Great looking B-17's. That's the first time I've seen bombs mounted externally underneath a B-17. Have always been told the 1/48 Revell B-17's are a challenge, but you made that one look great.

Looks great!
Very nice result, Paul @paulwoodyvanacker
Not only this one but also the NMF one, must have been a lot of work to build a 1/48 Fortress.
Great job. I love those Monogram and Revell B-17 kits and you have done a nice job with both of yours.
Very nice work on this @paulwoodyvanacker. A great result.
All of the above, a great job!
Looks great, I hope your friend is recovering.
Thank you. Slowly but surely by the looks of it. π
Nicely done B-17 build.
Nice pair!
Thanks very much everyone. π
