I've just bought this model, I would be happy if it comes out anywhere near as good lol

UNBELIEVABLE work. Just wow.

Respect nice work.

David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Saturday, 6 July, 2024) Well, this is clever! And your natural metal treatment (BareMetal Foil?) is exemplary! Whilst I have your attrition, has Hong Kong Models issued, or would you know if they are planning upon producing, a 1:32nd-scale kit of an earlier variant of North American’s B-25 Mitchell USAAF Medium Bomber?

Absolutely gorgeous my friend, what an amazing job you’ve done 👍🏻🇦🇺

I can’t believe that YTs algorithm didn’t send me any of your brilliant videos ages ago. No matter, this conclusion to your B-17 build finally appeared in my YT feed. I’ve just subscribed to your channel , and I’m sure I’ll be spending a fair amount of time catching up what I’ve been missing. Well done. 👍 I almost expected the B-17 to taxi off at the end. 😉

David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Saturday, 22 June, 2024). At 0.27, your sound ceases for round 1 minute; the on-screen closed captioning abruptly stops, as well. Then again at 2:07 till 3:21. From all I have seen so far, I am quite keen to hear your explanation and description of your build, so please resolve this. At round 10:45, your video shows inside your flight deck several yellow cylinders mounted upon an interior sidewall. Another modeller on his channel criticised Hong Kong Models for the poor D-shaped half round bulges on his port-side interior wall part. Had you scratch-built yours (if so, you are seriously good!), or is that some sort of aftermarket discovery? I am looking for the rest of your playlist. I take quite a measure of delight in watching these since I cannot afford the kits (much as I would aspire to several of each for various builds; e.g., two of the Hong Kong Models Boeing B-17E/F Flying Fortress USAAF Heavy Bomber 1:32nd-scale kits, to build an -E and an -F; and of course two B-17Gs, the second with the Cheyenne tail gun arrangement,in natural metal), and all the accoutrements to build, detail, accurise, paint, etc., them. Already is yours a genuine treat!

David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA Terribly laborious techniques you have (I am bony, with small hands and fingers of little strength, so such would be truly difficult for me), though with excellent results! Round 8:22, I hear a background noise reminding me of engine noises of a big commercial jets. Is this true? Decades past, whilst at university here, I for a time had lived directly under the glide-path leading to the airport here, so I heard my share of those sounds.

As soon as I heard ''Alarm''l knew which boat it was Stunning mate 😉👌

Insanely good 😉👌

A bit o' Lace, my favorite gal

Where did you get the lighting?

Great result however i am not convinced HK got the nose quite right , those side windows look too small , and the spinners are the wrong shape and the canopy looks a little suspect too , for a kit selling for £ 170.00 + i would have expected it to be spot on.

That is an absolute masterpiece 🔥 congratulations 🎉

Fantastic upgrade on this great kit 👍🏻🔥

STUNNING!

My jaw dropped when I first laid eyes on this superb effort.

Recommendation: make the pilot look like Gregory Peck. j/k

suprised to see you have to buy "extras" for a kit of this price ( £395 .) and complexity !!

Waste of money buying easy to snap resin when you can get metal.

David R Lentz, USA Well, this is delightfully inventive, from conceptualisation to execution. For your next project, could you give us a similar look at a Fletcher-class destroyer, though in 1:72nd-scale? It would be a bit under five feet three inches in length, which is why I suggest that ratio.

really awesome work with this awesome work are you going to have one side see threw cause it would suck to hide the talent

Great kit! amazing detail! one thing though, how do you figure out the order in which you paint the parts? I'd imagine for such a huge model it could be a daunting task... I'm not talking about what order is in the book, or the obvious ones, like interior first, then move on to the exterior..but for example I've seen you've built some parts of the wings like the wheel but not the propeller? how does one figure out what to paint first and then attach to the model?

My local hobby store just got one of these in stock. I JOKINGLY said, "Ah, now there's a nice kit and should be able to finish that up in a week-end, right?" LOL Seriously though, the incredible work that you put into this one truly shows what can be accomplished in the hands of a master modelling artist. I'd say you'd get more than a few museums that would LOVE to have this on display.

This is the summit of all model builds. I have seen what others say cannot be done.

I have this ammo belts and I ain’t gonna use them -terrible

素晴らしい！！！

I am about to start the F-14 1:32 model. The B-17 will be next. Lovely work dude!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

thos ebombs would have been dropped as soon as possible after they were made, they shouldnt be distressed at all tbh

Great series of videos! Well done Sir. I just bought this kit....is there anything I should watch for? Errors, bad parts etc? This is my first HK kit...never built one. Wish me luck.

11:07 ...damn dust

So Im assembling a Replica inside a game and I came across something that I DID NOT know about on the B17 and oddly enough cant seem to find anything on... Under the Radio Compartment has an area where it states they stored 3 Large G1 tanks of Oxygen. The ones behind the Pilot the BIG ONES. In looking this up I discovered it was an area used to store the cameras that the Radio Operator used. Oddly enough you cant find anything on it in google that ive seen yet and nearly all model B17 Replicas DO NOT include those Oxygen Bottles under that compartment nor do they include the compartment in their models. Also Ive been inside multiple B17s and I have not ever seen anything about under the Radio Compartment.

Then again towards the end of B-17 production so many modifications were made its hard to know.I based my "bit o lace" on a well known photo in flight..You can see it has framed waist windows,AND it was hit by flak over Kiel in April 45 and had one rear elevator green and one silver.

Amazing Job Love your work <3 amazing stuff.

I know it been two years, but what paint did you use for your aluminum finish?

The amount of work and detailing is astounding! Now I know were they stored all of the torpedoes and that the telescope well does go down to the keel. I thought the battery compartment was a lot larger than it is depicted in this cut away. The best part is the audio/visual layer of this work of art, the lighting, the sound effects.... absolutely brilliant!! The meticulous detail work in the painting shows true artistry. Well done!

Hi, can you please advise how you hang the b17 on the wall, great way of storage as it’s a big model , thinking of buying one , but don’t have the space

Thank you very much!

Well done!

Hello! First of all I want to say that I think your work is excellent! Can you tell me where I can buy these sound systems and lights that your kits have?

Love the commentary. Fantastic work. Such a shame that all the interior details are shut away on these large scale bomber builds. Good to have a record of it all anyway and lots to be happy with on this build. Cheers!

That’s how modeling should be, amazing

Beautiful work ,, just pure art.

That is an interesting airbrush you are using in this video, with a suspended paint cup. What brand and model is it if you don't mind my asking? Is that a H&S Grafo? What needle size ? Thank you. Beautiful Fortress!

For wood look i do a similar process but instead of oils i use tamiya clear orange as top coat. It smears the browns and looks cool and dries overnight. Your builds are fantastic by the way..

Looks AWESOME!!😍😍💯💯💯💯💯🥰👏👏

Awesome build 👏 How did you wire it? I looked at the kit but I can’t see how you can put the circuit inside the fuselage and then wire up the motors in the wings afterwards.

Great skills

Hi looks fantastic , can I ask what colour of paint you used for the jeep

amazing b-17 hopefully I get my hands on one of those (I just noticed you forgot to unmask the ball turret)
