Here is my Flying Fortress, finally complete after several months of modeling in the spare time after school. This is only my fourth model so I'm still learning. I built it right out of box and used kit decals. This was the first model I've used filler on and it took a while to get the wing roots and other gaps  to look acceptable. I brush painted it with Model Master Olive Drab and Light Ghost Gray. After applying paint, I scribed thin lines through the paint next to the raised panel lines and filled these with an acrylic wash. Somewhere in this process I knocked off the radio mast, lost it and had to carve a new one out of a toothpick. I also knocked one of the forward machine guns into the fuselage and made a new one out of stretched sprue. It looks fine if you don't look too closely. I created exhaust stains by drybrushing black acrylic paint. I put the decals on from "Chow Hound" but the Testors Decal Set hardly did anything so they don't look to good. I'll use a different product next time. When I sprayed the whole thing over with Testors Dullcote, I forgot to mask two of the windows so they frosted.

After completing the model, I assembled the bomb-cart and it goes with a "Semi-diorama" which sits on my desk.

I didn't know very much about modeling when I started this model and I have learned a lot of techniques since starting the interior. Thank you for looking.
