folks i have been playing with another superdetail project. this victim is the revell/monogram b-17g in 1/48. for this one i wanted to make something special. i decided to try to make it so wires went the way they are supposed to. well let me show you what i have done.
now that painting took me quite a while to do. now on to some added effects.
there are about fifty wires and fifteen o2 tanks added. with that many wires i had to go and add a fuse box also.

Looking good there, Joe. More pics!
Looks awesome joe,keep up the good work!
Yes, definately a good job. Is it just me, or is the bombadier’s chair grossly under scale? When I built my B-17G (waaaay back when i was like 14… 4 years ago) I laughed a little because the pilots seats are so high up, but the little bombadier’s cahir was so tiny…
Wow, Joe, that looks awesome![tup]Great work there in the front office. Keep it up.
That looks great; did you use any aftermaket pieces?
Amazing! I can only hope to learn that much patience.[:O] As they say, practice makes more practice. Or something like that!
It will be a shame to close up the fuselage after all that work - looks great so far
many many thanks for all the kindness. there is no am stuff in these shots. the o2 tanks are sprue ground to the general shape, the wires are several different varieties (about fifty in total). i am still learning this part of building. i am enjoying this though. something i didnt mention. i have cut out the emergency exit under the pit and the crew door in the rear. both will be open. i also cut off the bomb bay doors and will have them open. i scratched the entry by the emergency door and did a floor for the gunners stations. i agree it will be sad to see the fuse closed but i know it is there. i plan to detail the belly turrent and the wheel wells the same way. i also plan to detail the landing gear.
thanks again for the kind words.

Looks great Joe. Keep us updated on your progress.
Nice work, Joe !
Even though you won’t see much of it when the fuselage is closed, you’ll always remember building it. Besides, an airplane with half a fuselage doesn’t look very real !
Keep up the great work !
Nice work, Joe!
Joe the electrician j/k . As I have said this is a wonderful build buddy… cant wait to see what ya got next.
Jeff
Well done, as said it would be a sin to close the fusolage…You should be proud of yerself!!!
