New Projects - Revell 1/72 Focke-Wulf TL Jaeger "Flitzer" and Minicraft 1/144 B-17G Flying Fortress

  Right onto the other two projects I am doing while I wait for the glue/paint to dry on the Puma.  I got this a while back and it is an "Luft46" project.  It's a cool plane, looks a lot like a Vampire/Demon or should I say that they look like this as this was designed in 1943 if my memory serves me correctly.  I am not too sure what decals I wanna use on it.  I think the mottle paintwork is a little bit advanced for my airbrushing skills at the moment.  So I might paint it in a Nightfighter paintwork... hhmm...

 
Well I have closed up the fuselage half's, after packing in a metric tonne of fishing shots.  I hope it's enough weight to keep her on her wheels and not sitting on her arse.  I didn't do much with the tub as I don't think you will be able to see any of the deeper detail.

   The two halves glued together, it took a while to get the thing to close up as it refused to close.  I don't know if that's because I put loads of shots in there or something I missed/didn't tidy up.  Hopefully the glue will cure and keep the bugger stuck.

  I am hoping you can see instrument panels/dials in this one.  I tried dry-brushing for the first time and it actually worked!  I am well impressed with it, yeah sad I know.  It looks pretty good I thinks. :)  Onto the B-17

   This is the box of it, I didn't pay that much for it if I recall right, got it from Hannants too.  Decided not to use the decals for the "Bit o'Lace" I am going to use something else instead.  Just waiting for them to turn up, well actually I gotta wait for the model to be finished first, then decal it.
 

   Here are the fuselage halves being closed up, I haven't glued the wings on yet as I need to do a little work on them.  I have just placed them in their slots to show what to models looks like.  Looks like an B-17 to me. :)

   Tried to get a close up of the cockpit area, think the camera was having a thing for the clamps.  Was focusing on everything except what I wanted it to, might have to use the manual focusing next time.

  And the Fortress next to the Puma, quite a size difference huh?  Wait till the S-37 or the MiG-1.44 go next to it, it will be dwarfed by them.  And that's all that I have done thus far, hoping to get more done next week.  Just wanted to rest this week.

  Peace!
