2013年9月1日 · Later in war USAAF stopped the requirment of painting interior of aircraft to preserve them as they were not expected to be used for very long. I was a volunteer worker on the second to last B-17 ( PB-1W) built by Douglas when it came to Barksdale AFB in the late 70's.

2010年9月12日 · Im building the Monogram 1/48 B-17G and am thoroughly confused as to what the interior color should be. Some sources show the inside to be bare metal while other references show the interior to be zinc chromate. Im assuming that both may be right depending on where the B-17G was assembled and the...

2014年1月5日 · The B-17 detail and scale book, vol 1 is a great source as well. Key part is to use WWII era pics, most of the restorations are not correct. And at least in my opinion, green zinc chromate is to bold for a model, if you put a wash on it it'll pretty much look like interior green. And I've never seen yellow zinc chromate in a B-17's interior.

2009年8月1日 · However there wasn't a legal standard for interior colors.. Just paint it with whatever is available they said, and you get a plethora of colors on the inside of B-17's, if you took examples from different sections, you will find out that there are at …

2016年8月31日 · No-one would probably know the difference anyway, considering the number of B-17 models you see built having been painted Interior Green. It's only a B-17 geek like me who may raise an eyebrow...

2022年2月16日 · Hi, Does anybody know if the most common Coastal Command B-17 (Mk.2A & Mk.2) still had the sound-proofing cover inside the fuselage? It looks it was standard on B-17E and disappeared from the Boeing production lines somewhere during the F production. The issue is the fact pictures of earlier ...

2019年7月7日 · The interior ( B-17G)was left natural metal, as was the outside which had an advantage of saving weight, hence a slightly faster true airspeed, plus saving of production time and costs.

2016年10月18日 · I recently purchased a few kits; the HKM B-17G being my most eagerly anticipated build. Planning has unearthed quite a few detailing kits, so I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on the [detail] kits they've used for this particular kit. Is there a lot of cross-over with the different manuf...

2008年3月10日 · A pretty good, and cheap, source of period interior photos of B-17s is the January 2000 issue of Airpower magazine. Its got an article with interior photos of the gun emplacements of B-17s.

2009年12月12日 · PLEASE!!!!, keep in mind that it is very difficult to re-engineer these kits once built up to add an interior unless you cut this b1otch up to do so, or plan on this before you start to make the necessary modifications. The AMS is going to …
