    The 50 centavos coin is really TOO big compared to a B-17 cockpit! :D

    Nice job, WTG!

    Are you going to bury all that beauty in the fuselage or you just plan to cut the B-17 in the middle to show the inside when the model will be finished?
    Here two photos of what I'm writing about (sorry for the bad scans, I fight everytime with my scanner and it always wins... :) )
    The details are nice but the global view of a B-17 with only one wing is a little shock... ;)

    I'm not sure about what I', going to do...
    I was thinking about cut some parts of the fuselage to make the interior exposed, but not like the pictures you posted, I was thinking about much smaller cuts... Something like this:

    or even smaller cuts.
    But I'm afraid of fuck off the kit and the entire work in the attempt of doing the cuts... :D
    If you have any sugestions, please post.

    :cheers:

    xiru, ai no teu mestrado nao tem aquelas cameras tipo sonda (pra laparoscopia por exemplo), dai tu podia montar e fotografar por dentro do kit e expor as fotos junto ao kit montado...
