Andy Ball AutorI built this,(Hasegawa), one in the mid-1990's and have only recently added Air Master metal barrels for the 0.303's, as it'd been stored and damaged. It was brush painted and weathered, (it shows!), but I like its overall "feel"...., I'm still "practicing as a modeller", as indeed we all are- projects like this show where I've come from! Finally, many thanks for your comments!

David JanuskaVery nice "bird". I also have a Hasegawa kit "nose art". But I've replaced it with an Airfix one in my stash. But your work looks awesome. Congratulations👍.

Andy Ball AutorYes David, I think Airfix raised the bar with their recent B-17, but Hasegawa raised it from the old Airfix and Revell ones way back when!!

Andy Ball Autor@ Charlie: sure have! It's a 'G…. The next B-17 I'll make will be the 'F of "Ye Olde Pub", Charlie Brown's badly damaged mount that Franz Stigler "escorted" -to accompany my previously built Bf-109G-6 of his….."one day!",(sighs)….

MickyGood memories Andy! When I was a teen(in the 80s) I made a Zero, Me109, a Spitfire MkI and a Pucará among others. All painted with brush and enamels. (no weathering at all) . I lost them when I moved alone and then after a divorce!!haha. But those warriors where the seed of a late comeback 7 years ago. Glad to see that you saved that B-17!! cheers

Andy Ball AutorAh Micky! What divorce does to a model collection- my F-15/14/RF-4/PBY-5/B-29…..all lost in the landfill grave yard!! And, yes, we knew little of panel line washes, pre shading…..thanks for your comments too!!

Łukasz GlińskiLooks even more realistic with all that dust, no need to weather it anymore 😉

Andy Ball AutorŁ, your humour is not lost on me!, and yes, I think dust should be a recognised art in weathering models!!

Andy Ball AutorPatryk : one of my "in a land long, long, ago"….I would like to attempt another: that of "Ye Olde Pub" to go alongside Stigler's 109 G6
