B-17 G "Solid Sender"

In 2006 I built this Revell 1/48 scale B-17 G for a friend of mine. He gave it to his grandfather, C.S. Needham, for his 90th birthday. Mr. Needham completed a full tour of duty in 1945 flying this plane for the 388th against Nazi Germany.

I completed a very basic interior, as the view inside the plane was extremely limited. The plane was finished with Alclad, Eduard photo-etch, custom decals, and various weathering techniques. Because of the age of this kit, this was one of the hardest models I've built. I still have nightmares of all the sanding that was required!

After the acrylics were applied, the entire surcoat was blended with Windsor and Newton artist's oils. Groundwork is Aves Apoxie Sculpt with a mixture of Elmer's glue and real dirt, finished with Humbrol enamels.
