B-17 Repair

7/14/2014

Paint removed and ready for re-assembly.  The plane was cracking apart in the centerline along the original two part seam.  The glass got popped out too.


Decal is all gone.  It took four attempts.  Some when away on the first shot, others took three or four.


Landing gear repaired and glued down.


This one is scheduled to be a KG200 aircraft of the German Luftwaffe.


Seam fixed, much better now.


I have to re-attach the wings, replace some of the machine guns, and repaint and decal.
