Well the end is near for this one.
This update is for the little fiddly bits that needed to be installed and painted prior to a final flat coat. It will also show the subtle weathering and staining on the aircraft.
So there we are. Almost. Almost done.
All that is left is the wheels and a flat coat to seal it all in.
All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged.

Joe, do me a favor...those vents behind the engine nacelles. They were clean air cooling vents, thing one of the ducts were for the oil cooler, waste air from the supercharger. They were NEVER exhaust vents and I don't think I have ever seen REAL photo of them being charred with soot, if anything they diverted soot that formed up over the wings.
I think that is the one major mistake folks make modeling the B17, if you're going to weather any soot coming from the engines over the wings, make sure those vents are clear.
Thanks...
