Model Flying Fortress B-17G - 1/72 Airfix - Ball Turret

[@lowes2win1]

This was my first Video I have watched on your Channel thats all it took, I didn't even finish it yet. I stopped real quick to post this comment. I subscribed 👍That ball turret on the B-17 was all it took. I have done a few on my 1/48 scale one's and they were similar but more forgiving because of there size. Can't wait to check out the rest of the build and beyond 👍 Dave

Good to have you here mate :) Have fun

[@fitchburgdivision]

Great work. I appreciate people working with this great craftsmanship.

[@Big-Modeller]

Thanks mate :)

[@johncherry754]

You Sir, must be a Surgeon, to do that kind of fine detail work!

[@Big-Modeller]

Or a Gynecologist, I heard that gynecologists make best "ship in the bottle" models ;)

[@johncherry754]

LOL

[@behemot666]

Uwielbiam Twoje filmy, i ta super muzyczka... Gratuluję i sukcesów dalszych w modelarstwie życzę.

[@Big-Modeller]

Dziękuję za słowa uznania :)

[@pdobosz3]

To już nie modelarstwo, to szaleństwo :) Na filmie wszystko wydaje się takie proste....

[@Big-Modeller]

I trwa 10 minut a nie tydzień ;).

[@misticrider4785]

you show great patients with the masking

[@Big-Modeller]

Patience is my superpower ;).

[@aandm320]

He has many patients at his hospital that are great

[@asdf9890]

Been trying to figure out how to mask this tiny thing, guess I’ll give it a shot.

[@Big-Modeller]

Well, it's not easy when you don't have pre-cut masks.

[@JedenSiedemDwa]

Super. Ja bym się nie zdecydował sam tego maskować, gotowe maski bardzo mnie rozleniwiły w tym względzie. ;) No i dobrze, że wprowadziłeś matę - dbaj o nią, bo inaczej będzie wyglądać jak moja. :D A taka czysta wygląda najlepiej. No i podziwiam też odwagę sklejania tego klejem cyjanoakrylowym, ja bym się bał sklejać to zwykłym klejem do plastiku... ;) Pozdrawiam!

[@Big-Modeller]

Też bym chętnie użył gotowych masek, ale szkoda mi na to wydać 33 pln plus przesyłka ;). Cyjanoakrylem nie kleiłem części przezroczystych, tylko te które powinny się solidnie trzymać. Szkiełka kleiła jak zawsze ostatnio ekstra rzadka Tamka :).

[@JedenSiedemDwa]

Rozumiem. Z tym, że maski z Montexu kosztują mniej więcej połowę z tego. Z tym, że nie ma do Airfixowego B 17G. No ale może kiedyś się pojawią. Tak czy owak, powodzenia! ;)

[@kapselek5861]

Widać progres w rozwoju warsztatu :) Mata jak najbardziej poprawia odbiór. Poza tym drobne detale na jej tle są dużo bardziej wyraźne i czytelne. Fajnie że za radą zaopatrzyłeś się w Alclada. Nawet na zbliżeniu nie widać drobin pigmentu metalizera. Oj przewiduję że te B -17 to będzie wymiatać. Nie wiem, czy jeździsz po imprezach modelarskich ale chętnie zobaczyłbym tego bydlaka w Koszęcinie :) Pozdrawiam serdecznie i powodzenia w kolejnych etapach

[@Big-Modeller]

Może coś w tym jest. Kamera chyba na tym tle też lepiej ustawia przysłonę. Alclady są świetne, mam nadzieję że nic nie spartolę, bo na takiej powierzchni będzie widać każdy paproch.. Co do imprez, to jeszcze na żadnej nie byłem, a z moimi "pudełkowcami" to raczej jak się wybiorę to w charakterze widza :).

[@JedenSiedemDwa]

A, i mam jeszcze takie pytanie: czym Ty to filmujesz? I jak zamocowałeś kamerę, żeby Ci nie przeszkadzała? I jak doświetlasz "plan filmowy" ? ;)

[@Big-Modeller]

Filmuję zwykłą małą kamerką "Handycam". "Plan filmowy" doświetlam dwoma lampkami na wysięgnikach z Ikei. A co do montażu kamery żeby nie przeszkadzała, to napiszę Ci jak tylko mi się uda to zrobić ;).

[@JedenSiedemDwa]

Dzięki, poczekam cierpliwie. ;)

[@rincobill3459]

Very clever but please reduce the volume of the music...

[@Big-Modeller]

Sorry mate, I didn't know there's anything wrong with the volume.

[@marvan1]

Did airfix include pilots with this kit?

[@Big-Modeller]

Nope, there's no crew.

[@marvan1]

It's a shame, that model would look fantastic in a diorama

[@Big-Modeller]

It still can. There's a special set with refueling vehicles designated for this model. You'll find figurines with staff also for sure :).

[@christinaweaver9236]

DonkeyPlonkey123 lol i have like 5 1:72 RAF pilots i have not been used so i guess it would work as the two pilots

[@patrickrobinson-mh5jw]

@@marvan1 surprising how expensive those figures are to make to create figure moulds but there are ground sets for this kit

[@paweradziwon8494]

Mega film ja sklejam takiego samego tez airfixu

[@Big-Modeller]

Dzięki :) Jeden z fajniejszych modeli jakie robiłem.

[@sindobrandnew]

So cute.

[@Big-Modeller]

I would have chosen different word to describe this turret - "annoying" for example ;) But thanks :).

[@robertfrancis6967]

I see this post is from several years ago and this just happens to be the 2nd of your posts I have viewed so have yet to get a feel for your style and or preference in modelling technique so this question may have been covered in another video n I apologise if it is a redundant topic so here goes was the pre cut masking kit for the obscene amount of very small very technical and very tedious masking needed on the clear spru glass parts not yet available for this kit at the time you built it or are they not something that you ever use on your builds. From my experience with masking sets especially on the WWII aircraft kits that all seam to have a whole bunch of windows, turrets, cock pit, observation and canopies glass with gobs of extremely fine masking of all kinds they may not always 100% perfectly cut to perfection every time but they are absolutely worth their cost and pay for themselves many times over in time saved don't have to hear my Dr. nagging me about my BP as often less xana x needed lol and their greatest value the results the help to effortlessly achieve in finished product. Everyone has their own preference I just know if it wasn't for companies making those mask sets I would either have stopped modelling sometime ago or at least would be less diverse in builds staying away from my favorite media WWII European theater aircraft just so much incredible history and with Germany especially with greatly restricted resources and a thinly stretched work force of any kind nearly every able bodied male 15-50 was in the fight those who manned the engineering design production and manufacturing of weaponry, armor,aircraft and das boot were old,infirm, forced or female and still managed to cram practically 50yrs of technological advancements into around 5yrs and left a the allies with their nearly limitless manpower n material resources completely in the dust and 40yrs behind. How long did it take the Soviets to have the ability to use nuclear energy for weapons and power after the war? The German scientists were only days or weeks from completely altering all of history and the world as we currently know it

[@Big-Modeller]

What was the question? ;)

[@jarekgajewski7054]

Fajna ta muza z filmu

[@Big-Modeller]

Dzięks :)
