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
Eduard Radio Compartment
Eduard masks
Master gun Barrells
Hope you like
Rod
Congratulations Rod! Excellent job, at first I thought I was looking at the real thing!
For realism Iβd 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

Looks great. What kit is this?
Hello,
It is the HK kit.

Great work all around, Rod! π I love the natural light photography a lot! π
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
