B-17G "American Beauty" Part 1
Hello,
486 Bomb Group 384 Squadron out of Sudberry. This aircraft survived the war to be broken up in Kingman AZ. I am waiting for the California countryside to turn green which should be in March. At that point I will post many more pictures. But here are a couple that I have taken so far.
Products used
Paint: Ak Real color, Model master and Alclad
Aftermarket: Eduard wooden floors and ammo boxes set
Eduard Zoom cockpit
Eduard engine set

Master gun Barrells
Hope you like

Congratulations Rod! Excellent job, at first I thought I was looking at the real thing!
For realism Iād say this one is a 10 out of 10. Terrific
Rod, @rodbettencourt, having seen this build in person, I have to say the natural light really makes it pop. Great looking build and congratulations on your award at the Lancaster contest, it was well deserved.
Is that a real one or a model, Rod @rodbettencourt
Seriously, this is a great result. Even from the close-ups it looks like a real one.
Great realism - both the build and the photography
Thank you guys for your comments!
Rod

Hello,

Great work all around, Rod! š I love the natural light photography a lot! š
Yep - what they said - I almost moved past this post thinking it wasn't a model! Excellent work.
Great build and photos!
Thank you all!
Rod
