8th November 2025 - Academy 1/72 B-17F
B-17Fs are the new buses. Apologies for the lack of variety after the recent big 1/32 beastie. Customer scheduling dictates yet another B-17F is required, but this time in 1/72 scale so hopefully I can get it into the spray booth in one piece. In my humble opinion, while not perfect and lacking some detail, Academy is the most accurately shaped 1/72 B-17 and I am throwing everything at it (including some bits from the Revell version as well) in order to bring it up to par.

Hong Kong Models 1/32 B-17F
I was delighted to get yet another chance to put together one of HK's big beautiful B-17s. I have much experience with these kits, most of it enjoyable, and so it was like greeting an old friend. Still, a lot of work has to go into these things and I'm pleased to say I'm very happy with the result once again.
