B-17G 1/72 Academy

[yan.ko]

Tak jsem se rozhodl, ze i ja pujdu s kuzi na trh. Necekejte zadnou tydenni rychlovku - vaku kabinky od Falconu jsou na ceste a dekaly ma Ventura Publications vydat koncem roku. Takze casu dost, zadny spech. Na me trochu nezvykle jsem se pustil do americkeho letounu B-17G puvodne zrejme 731bq 452BG. Finalni kabatek bude tak trochu prekvapeni. Kdo jej uhodne behem stavby, ma u mne male bezvyznamne plus Tak dost reci a do prace.

Model je nova Akademka "Special nose art edition", doplnena o quickboosty a eduardi BigEd:

Reedice starsiho kitu pouze s novymi dekaly.
/The same old kit, but with new decals./

Motory Quickboost jsou jasnou volbou a nelze nez doporucit.
/Quickboost Wright R-1820 engines - far better than the kit's ones. Very recommended./

Quickboosti kryt motoru uz tak jasnu volbu neni. Jediny rozdil od stavebnice je v prumeru otvoru - nic co by sikovny modelar nezvladl sam.
/Only difference bwtween kit cowling and quickboost is inner diameter. Nothing that skillful modeller can't do single-handed./

Kryt motoru z kitu a quickboost. Rozeznate ktery je ktery?
/Quickboost cowling and the one from the kit, could you say which one is which?/

Podobnou stavbu zacal i Sedivak v tematicke sekci k B-17kam. Abychom se pri stavbe neprekryvali (a nemohli jste me konfrontovat ), zacnu odzadu ...

Netknute vyskovky verze C/D. Ty k verzi G jsem netknute nestacil vyfotit
/Tail wings from the kit - you're right these are of C/D version. It was too late to take a shot of untouched G-version ones, sorry/

Odriznuta klapka, miliputem domodelovana "vnitrni struktura", ztencene konce kridel a odtokova hrana
/Cutted flap, inner structure filled and made up using miliput, thinned wing tips and trailing edge/

Jeste jednou. Za zminku stoji nadstavovana klapka - sledovat TV pri brouseni se nevyplaci
/Another view. Notice white styrene on the right side of the flap - never sand the kit while watching TV/

Vybrouseno, preryto, onytovano, vyvrtan otvor pro osu klapky, vymodelovany vnitrni nosniky klapky, vse prestriknuto surfem 1200 a prelesteno vodnim smirkem zrnitosti 2500
/sanded, rescribbed, rivetted, drilled flap axle sleeve, scratched inner flap spar, all sprayed with surfacer 1200 and polished with finegrained water sandpaper/

Jeste jeden pohled
/Another view/

Zkouska nasucho
/Dry fitting test/

tak toto je fakt pecka já momentálně přemýšlím jak naznačit žebrování na těch ovládacích plochách..nějak mi ten hladký povrch nesedí nemáš nějaký tip??

Diky, diky chlapi
Taky jsem nad temi potazenymi klapkami premyslel a napadly me dva zpusoby:
- naznacit to mirnym zaskrabnutim plastiku mezi zebry kulatym skalpelem
- iluzi navodit az pri finalnim nastriku postshadingem podobne jako se tomu dela u port na chmelnicich z WWI

Kdyz jsem si ale ty klapky poradne prohlizel na dobovych fotografiich, zjistil jsem, ze povrch klapek byl perfektne vypnuty, takze to zrejme necham byt. Uz tak je to dostatecne kontrastni s nytovanym povrchem okolo.

Very good kickstart on the kit my friend! Didn't think that you made such a lot of progress since the start

Unfortunately my B-17 is not progressing that fast as yours or as the others' but anyway the photos are great inspiration!

I'm trying to translate the conversation with Google from Czech to English , but sometimes the results are quite funny... Anyway, your extra captions in English are greatly appreciated!

Good luck with the project for you and the rest of the Group build members!

Hi Peter,
thanks, it's nice to see you here. The tail wing was the easiest part, which was done in few hours, next progress will not be so soon. But I hope you will show us your build - as you say the photos are great inspiration and really good for sharing experiences and build methods.

I'll keep describing 'buildpoints' also in english (hoping my is better then google's )

Tvuj postup Michale znam a je to pekna prace Na dobovych fotkach jsem ale ridici plochy s takto vyrysovanou celou vnitrni konstrukci zatim nevidel. Na modelu zvyraznim (zejmena podelna) zebra bud vystinovanim, nebo zbrousenymi pulkruhovymi evergreen profily (pokud mi brzy dorazi ...)

[Miško]

Na dobových fotkách...?, ty ovšem nejsou podle dnešní módy. Asi bych to spíš jenom vytáhl nastříkáním proužků tmelem. Evrgríny budou moc vysoký.

[Rostislav Axmann]

asi tak, já ty svoje nafoukal taky jen surfem a vypadá to ok

[elby]

Vyzerá to na stavbu vo veľkom štýle, držím palce.

I also started with the horizontal stabilizer.

Is there a deadline for the group build? My project is a long term one I don't think it would be finished sooner than 1-2 years, only working on it when have a mood. I'm asking whether or not to open a thread myself...

Occasionally, I post updates on the kit to Hyperscale's Plastic Pics forum.

It doesn't matter if you finish your plane in three weeks or years. There is no deadline Peter. I only wish to have my fortress ready for painting till end of year, Foxbat wish to finish his fortress in this life ;o)
