Starting on the 1/72 B17 by a bit of dressing up in the rather spartan Academy cockpit. #AcademyB17F

Next up - like buses! Apologies for the deja vu, but this time in 1/72 scale so hopefully I can get it into the spray booth in one piece. IMHO, while a bit basic, it's the most accurate B-17 in 1/72 and I am throwing every extra at it. Not as "the Belle" thankfully. #AcademyB17F

Main painting done. As you can imagine, painting with the wings attached is not particularly practical in 1/32 scale... #HKB17F

If I've been quiet, it's because I've been putting these little beauties together. Fiddly but worth the effort. #HKB17F

A recent side project, the Skeleton Army from "Jason and the Argonauts" as realised by the great Ray Harryhausen. 1/6 scale kit from Star Ace, and as a big fan myself, it has been great fun to put together and paint. #StarAceSkeletonArmy More photos here: bowemodels.co.uk/gallery/space-…
