Had to cut out the side window for the other waist gun.

Beautiful cut. Nice and clean. If I ever have to have my pancreas removed due to acute pancreatitis from all the beer and whisky I drink, I want them to cut me up like this. It’s lovely. Excellent work.
She’s coming along very well!

Those big four engined bombers always look a bit daunting to me. So many props, bombs and glazing. But you make it look easy!

I’m not looking forward to masking this one. May send it to Mike....

Trying to get back into the swing of things after a long, difficult month. I added some PE to the top side of the wings. Working on the bottom half of the wings.

Re: 1/72 Academy B-17F Memphis Belle
I read through the entire thread to get up to speed! Beautiful prep work too date, sincerely. I feel you about the month itself. I have been waiting for supplies, waiting and waiting and waiting for supplies. Even though I am not dealing with any of the medical emergency issues you are, I still feel I am in a holding pattern waiting to do something. I guess I could go clean flash off parts... all the best, Mike. Sincerely.

More PE work. On the left you can see how it was before. Then I cut out and added the PE to those areas. Two down and six more to go.
