1/6 Scale B-17 Fortress Construction, Respray, Crash and Repair Photos
Loading...
Uploaded by vultee35 on Mar 25, 2009
At the request of 'gofastER' who posted a comment on another of my B-17 videos, here's some additional pictures of the B-17 during its construction in 1994/95. Taxi trials follow, then a respray into olive drab after sucessful flights. It crashed in 1996 as a result of faulty suppression of the landing gear motors which swampped the receivers, causing a failsafe. The rebuild pics follow and the finished result.

@Poopingbotham The three blade props are just resin cast static props. For flying, it needs the two blade because the model engines aren't geared like the fullsize, and so can't turn scale props. The two bladers however are virtually the correct diameter, so I get nice big yellow prop arcs when they run.

@B61mackman It is currently being stripped out, dummy radial engines added, and it's going into a museum.

Amazing build, terrible heartbreak! Starting my first scratch build of a super sportwin, what is the best adhesive for the bulk of construction?
