David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Saturday, 6 July, 2024) Your creativity in conceptualising this extraordinary display of yours, your myriad talents in fashioning these individual components, your acumen in synthesising them to a unified whole, and your ability to develop it all to a satisfying fruition-an immensely engaging tableau of both learned expertise and the keen wonder of a seasoned storyteller-are stunningly brilliant. Your technical skill in your execution of the innumerable examples of your work is masterful. I delight in the many instances of these in your model’s interior; I especially admire the large, wooden ammunition receptacles and the bullets’ feed belts leading to their respective machine-gun-the very best I have seen in the miniature! The same goes for the support vehicles and the figurines depicting the ground support crew; each simultaneously is an exemplar of handcrafting and a work of art. I want to walk amongst them, stepping up to the nearest one with a snappy salute and a merry “Oi, mate!” I very much wish you would have explained in detail how you had effected all these touch points of excellence. Exactly how had you created those remarkable ammunition feed belts supplying the machine-guns, please? Their boxes? The various, colourful accoutrements placed upon the navigator’s table? How had you made the petrol tank on the fuel truck (or tanker)? How had you reproduced the hose passing from that vehicle to the aircraft’s wing? I read the transcript to see what it might offer that would be of use in an effort to learn from your manifest expertise; it unfortunately gives only the lyrics of the songs you had played in the background. Oh, do give us a more in-depth exposition on this, your most compelling narrative in three dimensions, please!
Amazing detail for 1/48, makes thinking about 1/32, scary :-) Awesome attention to highlighting details, very authentic. Definitely liked presentation format showing your technique . I haven't built in a while, but this is scale I like, however never had much luck in locating 1/48 vehicles and ground crew. That seems to have changed. Congratulations on a beautiful build out and diorama.
A masterpiece. The presentation was very nice too (nice music and not jumping from photo to photo) Thank you for sharing the moments with us. Did you have any issues with the wings? One of the RUclipsrs says the left wing has a step at the connection point to the fuselage. (As if one wing is thicker than the other one)
Is this kit in 1/48 scale or 1/32? I have the 1/32 scale HK B-17G Late production and while I haven't started building it yet, I see some similarities.

Awesome kit and build. Love the music.
Takes me back to looking at Shep Paine's work in that MM Fortress pamphlet...
kudos

Super 😊👍👍👍 хорошо получился)
Wonderful work
Thanks 😊
I’m getting ready to do mine. How did you come up with the E6B and the plotter for the desk? You did an amazing job.
A masterpiece. The presentation was very nice too (nice music and not jumping from photo to photo)

THANKS
no I didn't have any problems with the wings
@@tomgsi1 Thank you for confirming. I am going to spend a lot on the B-17 aftermarket products and wanted to make sure it is not a waste.
Perfeito 👏👏
the ground crew refuelers would not be wearing helmets. soft caps or forage caps but not helmets.
Please tell us why.

1/48
wrong decal placement on Hamilton Standard prop blade, what a pity to this otherwise well built model!
