The "NEW FIRST LOOK" HK Models 1/32 B-17G Flying Fortress Model Kit

[@wwiiinplastic4712]

This came up in my feed. Can't believe it has been ten years since this kit came out.

[@markfrench8892]

For $350 I could almost buy an RC B-17G and actually fly it. The prices of plastic kits have become ridiculous. Having said that this is a nice kit.

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

It is what it is. Thanks for watching.

[@AlexModeling]

That one is an awsome kit! I would love to get my hands on one of those!

Ooo! I have to build on of those... That's my beloved Pop in the co-pilots seat in the 390th Bombardment Group destroying industries from high above Germany. He came out of it a greater man than when he went in.

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

+Sam Godfrey The 390th is very special to me as I was a Missile Maintenance Technician with the 390th MIMS at Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ. I salute your father for his service! Thanks for watching.

[@flyurway]

Kudos to your Dad. Mine was a navigator in the 306th.

[@jonnysuperglide]

Awesome model kit I love it so much how can I buy one sir ???????? Can you get them online ? Please let me know god bless

[@tonyprice5726]

I would be interested to know what sort of glue you use to join the bits together . I have used some glue that squeezed out of the joints and spoilt the surface. I would like to use the proper stuff before I buy one Thanks for any info.

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

I recommend a combination of CA and styrene cement.

[@markfrench8892]

If the glue squeezed out, you're using too much on the joints

[@lesthiele4921]

Will you have to build an addition just to house this B-17? Keep safe and well i these crazy times, best regards from Australia

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

Its a big plane for sure.

[@leglessinoz]

I have a 1/48 scale B-1B that is about 36" long and 39" wingspan with the wings swept forward.

[@allandavis8201]

I have arthritis in my hands so am not dextrose enough to build anything small anymore, 1/48th being about the smallest I can manage, this kit looks as though it would be perfect for me, guess I better start saving up for this one. I bought the 1/18th scale FW-190A by hobby boss and am really disappointed by the lack of detail on it, no pilot, no engine, and very poor cockpit detailing, no wonder I got it cheap, £60, a lot less than even some 1/32nd kits, so beware of this kit, it isn’t worth the money or disappointment. Look forward to the next video, thanks for sharing this kit with us. 👍

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

Unfortunately its the only game in town for its size, hey I'm a modeler and I plan to detail and correct it as much as possible. Thanks for watching and your kind words.

[@taumoose6654]

I fully understand the arthritis issue. I have had to move up to 1/32 because 1/72 just too small. 1/48th is about as small as I can go.

[@wwiiinplastic4712]

I know it has been four years, but the HB FW190 has little detail because it is a scaled-up version of the 21st Century Toys release which was actually a toy with moveable flaps, wheels, etc.

[@jonruehle9186]

I want to see him put it all back in the box and see if he can get the cover back on it.

No Pilots and Crew ?

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

Not with this kit.

@@ScaleModelKitReview Okay you can't always get what you want,to say it in the words of the Stones. But its a awesome modell👌Great review🔝 Have nice day🍀

[@SansP3ur]

This is on my wishlist. Where did you buy it and how much did it cost?

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

+CyberGolem I purchased it on a preorder, I think from Sprue Brother, The F model version is going to be available very soon.

[@model-man7802]

Milk Wagon was the only B17 they could com up with?

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

I know, plenty of aftermarket decals.

[@model-man7802]

@@ScaleModelKitReview I've got 41 1/48 B17 decal sets from microscale,Zots and many I made myself."Milk Wagon" is an ok choice but it was also on the Monogram pro modeler plane.There are lots of others waiting to be made famous still.I made the tragic mistake of letting my inlaws move in.All of my B24s and 32 of my B17s were tossed.Im guessing about 1200 bucks in today's prices to get them back.Not including time and effort.I started in 1982.😔🤯

[@Shannonbarnesdr1]

Dude, I want ! Where do I buy one ??

Looks to me like they gave you parts to build her as a B-17-F or a G. I thought the old Monogram 1/48 scale B-17 was a lot of model, this one beats all I ever saw

[@mecallahan1]

After watching the second part I see I was wrong about the extra parts, oh well, still a very impressive kit

The 47 year old Monogram is way more accurate. Even the sit is way better, as the gear on the HK is much too long...

[@charlesjhemphilliii4792]

Can you get a crew?

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

No one produced a crew, although you could scratch build a crew using the airfix multi-pose figures, Verlinden may have a few crew, but they are expensive.

[@model-man7802]

@@ScaleModelKitReview Verlinden is gone aren't they?

[@jpatt1000]

I just saw this yesterday in Milwaukee! Three hundred bones! Not my usual scale, but I want one anyway! You said "kit instructions", did you actually mean "kit novel"? As for the wheels, you could just double up, you know, for soft field operations! Hopefully the top piece fits nicely so you can choose to leave it loose for interior viewing. (Don't know if that's an option in the instructions, but I'd do it.) That's a lot of work to simply cover up!

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

Thank you.

[@scottfirman]

I spend that much for a foam RC plane that I can actually fly. Sure there is not the same detail, I get that. I used to build a lot of plastic models. I can say this, I do detail out most of my RC planes as much as possible because at the end of the day, they just sit around looking cool. By adding details, an RC plane can look almost as good as a plastic model. I even add lighting to all my planes, even my plastic models. I love modeling period.

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

Thanks for watching.

We don’t need a 1/32 scale B-17. What we need is a modern molding in 1/48 scale of the B-17 and the B-24, B-26, B-29, etc. There are way, way more builders in at 1/48 scale than 1/32 scale and we're all stuck with 50 year old kits of those great planes. Come on man! You want to make some money?
