Thank you for the invitation , @lis , @fiveten, and @johnb... I may join you . I’m trying to finish a P-40E Warhawk and want to concentrate on getting it finished before starting another project. This will be my first model of the year, if it is completed.

Your cockpit & bomb bay are stellar @lis ! Amazingly so, especially considering it’s a 1/72 kit.

As usual, you are too hard to yourself, my friend @lis, as the bomb bay is perfect!

Work going on, but slowly. I decided to follow Airfix painting interior scheme.

You are really doing exellent work, Bernard @lis
I should get started on mine as well.

Set of masks from eduard have one problem. Don't have masks to interior side of windows. I ordered set of Montex masks for masking exterior Windows in nose.

Quite some masking to do on a B17, Bernard @lis

Stuffing all the accessories in the fuselage gave me another gray hair. You need a lot of precision because all the equipment is very extensive in length, so if at a given point something moves by a millimeter, then the whole thing is mounted imprecisely and does not fit. At one point, I had to tear off the glued parts, because it turned out that the wall of the bomb chamber did not fit the mounting points. At one point I had no strength, because for the third time my radio chair fell off, leaving a glue mark on the floor of the radio cabin, which made me very nervous. I masked all the shortcomings on an ongoing basis using Tamiya valorisation kits and repainted a few paint strips with Mr Hobby acrylic silver. These were the points of inaccurate bonding that showed up on the rear-to-fuselage deck. I hope that it will not be visible after closing it and additionally I masked everything with a light bronze wash to emphasize the walls of the fuselage.

That kit has a very detailed interior , and you,@lis , are doing an incredible job ! It looks awesome. That’s an amazing the amount of interior detail. My old Hasegawa Flying Fortress has almost no interior. Is the Revell 1/72 B-17G as complex ?
