Hi All As soon as I spotted this kit online I knew I had to make it. Unfortunately it was a discontinued item and was hard to find, until I stumbled across one in an American hobby shop website. Transaction completed and then a 4 week wait for it to arrive. The detail of the kit is great, all resin and PE. Unfortunately there was a lot of warping and bad joins, so a lot of fettling was required. Well it was worth the effort as it really did come up a treat and as mentioned before the detail is really crisp. I used AK paints to create a colour modulation on the airframe and a wood and leather kit was used for the figure and wooden floorboard. This model, like my other early figures were finished before I really knew about doing filters / washes etc. I'm tempted to go back, but I'm thinking I will just leave them as is and when i do future ones it will be good to compare the difference. Although it was a tough build in some respects, I'm glad I hung in there. Hope you enjoy the final outcome. ![](https://i.ibb.co/6FfsyRT/Verlinden-B17-Waist-Gunner-1a.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/CmtnVBB/Verlinden-B17-Waist-Gunner-2a.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/Y0h9vPb/Verlinden-B17-Waist-Gunner-3a.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/YRgFwF9/Verlinden-B17-Waist-Gunner-4a.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/wz9JVvN/Verlinden-B17-Waist-Gunner-5a.jpg) Cheers Mark

Hi everyone
Thank you for your kind feedback and comments. It was a great kit to build inspite of the warping issues.
If you manage to find one I’d highly recommend getting it.
Cheers
Mark

Very nice and the pose of the figure is so realistic. Really shows off the intensity of fending off -109 and -190s.
Best wishes,
Ian
