Here’s a bit of a change from the usual giant R/C stuff I do. A 1/72 scale B-17 built as an airframe stripped for spares, built for an online competition. The basic kit is the Airfix rebox of the Academy kit, bought for £5.00 from Ebay. I did a fair amount of scratch building inside both the fuselage and wings. It’s not perfect, but I’m pretty pleased with the look of the model. I think this is the first time that the more bits I’ve cut off, the closer the model was to completion!
