B-17 F Flying Fortress // Bombardier B-17 F Fortareata Zburatoare

This is the B-17 F from Academy models. It's a 1:200 scale model made quite poorly. The pieces didn't match up propperly, and needed a lot of work, so assembly took quite a bit. Another downer is that it didn't have any clear plastic pieces for the windows, so they have to be painted either in black or some metalizer. I've added the machineguns myself, because a B-17 without it's machineguns looks like a passenger aircraft :). I made them from wire painted in Gunmetal black. Despite it's drawbacks it makes an ok display model for a shelf.

Macheta bombardierului B-17 F al firmei Academy. Modelul este realizat la scara 1:200. Dezavantajele machetei sunt cateva: in primul rand piesele sunt turnate slabut, si nu se potrivesc la asamblare, trebuie slefuite, pilite; nu contine geamuri din plastic transparent, acestea fiind turnate direct in forma modelului, necesitand vopsirea in negru sau un metalizator pt efectul de geam. Modelului i s-au adaugat mitralierele facute din sarma vopsita in metalizator inchis. In total, in ciuda dezavantajelor machetei, este ok pentru un model de raft.

Junkers Ju-87 B2 "STUKA"

The JU-87 B2 Stuka From Zvezda. This little thing is a very small 1/144 scale model made for a war board game by the company. It was never designed to be painted, but i coulodn't help myself, i had to do it. I painted it for 1940, Battle of Britain. Things that need to be mentioned are that the plastic it's made from doesn't go well with paint. The paint dries as soon as it touches it, so i had to paint it Dry Brush. Second, the rear machinegun, the forward machineguns and the support antena on the cockpit were not on the model. I added them myself. I used all sorts of markings from different kits since it had only the crosses and some very big black numbers as decals. Overall it came out as a nice model for my shelf collection.

Junkers Ju-87 B2 Stuka al firmei Zvezda, la scara 1/144. Acest model a fost conceput pentru un joc de strategie, nu pentru a fi vopsit. Plasticul nu a permis decat vopsirea la pensula uscata, iar modelului i-au fost adaugate mitralierele fata, spate, antena de suport de pe carlinga, si decaluri de la alte kituri pentru a obtina varianta 1940, Batalia Marii Britanii.
