The kit covers one of the truly iconic aircraft of WW II. By most aviation experts evaluation the B 17G is rated in the top three heavy bombers of all time. The B-17 series came into being in 1934 and continued to evolve and improve through 1945. These rugged planes truly helped bring Nazi Germany to the surrender table in May of 1945.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>For the Modeler:<\/b> The Pro Modeler kit was brought out in 2011. I was very pleased to have a chance to tackle this exciting model. I had not built a multi-engine plane in more the 15 years so I knew this would a challenge to my rusty skills! The kit contains 187 very well detailed parts as well as a great set of decals. The decals may be used to recreate one of four aircraft. I choose to do \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Little Miss Mischief\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, which is actually two damaged planes that were put together to form a healthy bomber. The \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Waterloo Mark II\u00e2\u20ac\u009d had had its front severely damaged and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Little Miss Mischief\u00e2\u20ac\u009d had taken a direct Flack hit in her radio compartment. So the mechanics at The Bassington Airbase patched the two together, which made for a very interesting paint scheme! This is the plane that I decided to complete.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Covered in this Review:<\/span><\/b><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> This is a well designed kit but If you want to perfect your build, basic construction; seam identification and repair methods; adhesive selection and application; modular assembly techniques; altered assembly sequence for easier finishing; using metalizer paints; tail gunner modifications; paint selection and application; masking methods; using metalizer sealers; decal preparation and application; using decal setting agents; weathering methods with black washes and chalks; are all fully examined in this extensive <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>13 page, full-color<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Step-by-Step review. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Important!<\/span> &#8211; You <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">MUST<\/span> click on the &#8220;<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Return to Right on Replicas, LLC<\/span>&#8221; link after you&#8217;ve made your purchase to download your review!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<form action=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr\" method=\"post\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cmd\" value=\"_s-xclick\" \/> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"hosted_button_id\" value=\"3WBW5WT2KLGP4\" \/>                                                              <input type=\"image\" alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!\" name=\"submit\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/btn\/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/scr\/pixel.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/form>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\">To get your copy of the full review &#8211; just select one of the payment methods above for <b>$4.99 USD<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\"> <\/span><br \/>\nRight On Replicas, LLC \u00c2\u00a92012 All rights reserved.<br \/>\n*All registered trademarks are the property of their respective brands.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\nvar _gaq = _gaq || [];   _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-7543364-1']);   _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);   (function() {     var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text\/javascript'; ga.async = true;     ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
