Don't get lost in the details is what I always say. As for interior colors on WWII mass produced aircraft one must keep in mind the most important part the "mass production". The line NEVER stopped nor was allowed to even slow up to wait on paint. If they ran out it didn't get any. Not to forget the line changes during production meaning it was a running change. So right in the middle of the line the change was made and every aircraft afterwards were now different from those ahead. With all this in mind there's really no "wrong" way to paint the interior just as long as you use accurate colors.

I have two of this kit and from my research I have found out depending on where the B-17G was built the inside could be all painted or in certain areas could have been painted. The same thing with the floors some where wood and some where aluminum and painted chromate green and most did have plywood doors.

Good to hear! Although it is an older kit and it does require a bit of work, it is very good. One day I'd like to tackle the Visable B-17 kit anf really trick out the interior. Let me know how yours turns out!

Looking great Brett! I used small zip ties for the ammo belts, but again like you already said not much of the interior will be visible. Looking forward to the next update 👍

I did this as a kid! Though I'm sure it was 32nd! Might be course I was a kid it seamed big! came with a bomb trolly

It was probably 1/48. And it still seems very large. I look at some of these people building the 1/32 bombers, like the B-17 and even more so the Lancaster and I wonder if they might not be crazy!

What is your preferred glue for gluing the glazings into the fuselage?

Generally I use Tamiya extra thin or Testors liquid in the red bottle. Occasionally, I will use Testors Clear Parts cement but thats pretty rare.

Hi, Frank! Not really. I have a fume extractor vented through a window and I use a respirator. More importantly, my wife has never smelled the fumes, so my setup must be working.
