Excellent work, really liking the exhaust stains.

Must re check your build thread as Ia plan to try it for the first time soon.

A very nice fort you have there.

Nice! Thats a fine B17 mate, great work!
Agree with the exhaust, nice touch!
In fact there is many things to like: One cowling replaced/unpainted, chipping (nice), open door with nice weathering...etc.

Great job there. I bought the same kit, and tbh I was a little sad at the lack of detail on it OOB. But you've really made the kit come alive with all the extra effort and it really looks the part

Yes i agree 110% the OOB detail is very poor. Im glad i put the effort into the extra detail just a shame you cant see it now but thank the lord i have photos
