Loads of work on the glass. Great that the wingroots behaved!

Hi guys, I'm back in the business after some demotivation... Anyway thanks for your good words. After all the misadventure the Belle suffered I eventually applied the matt coat and remove the masking tape from th transparent tapes. Here under the result.

The pitot tube still to be re-glued after washing the surface

Next step will be to add the .50 caliber where they are missing

And now the disaster I created...

There is a lot of missing decal. I will try to add some I still have from the decal sheet to save what can be save...

Thanks for passing by.

Nice save, my friend @yann! Looking forward to see this beauty finished!

Still continue my work on the nose of the Fortress. Slowly it starts to look a bit smoother although I'm a bit worried how it will look like once I remove the masks. Today I applied a uniform grey color which, unfortunately, revealed some more areas to improve.

The nose of B-17s is always a problem area, John (@johnb), especially forward of the navigator's dome. Not only is it a tough place to glue, it is also a tough place to fill and sand. Looks like you have it all figured out.

Looks quite good! Sanding is always hard work.

@lis, thank you, Bernard. Sanding is simply not my favorite part of modelling, although it does improve the looks a lot.
