Hi,
Well when I'm not working, I have done a little bit more on my Soviet Sub, now has aerials fitted.
But for you retired, or few hour types then you have more opportunity I guess.
Hoping to start another project this holiday.
But that apart, this is a lovely looking B-17G Roger. Will you be placing it on a base/diorama setting?
Cheers,
Bigkev 

I can't wait to see them up close.
Very impressive!

Thanks Oli,
I try, but do not always succeed.

Hi Zak,
Thanks for the comment, much appreciated.
I am happy to help you with this sort of weathering. I'm no expert, but I'll happily pass on what does and doesn't work for me.

Hi Olvar,
Thanks for the comment.
For the rest of you here is the latest update on the build.
The upper surfaces have been painted and the deck in the conning tower/sail painted. The model has had the decals applied, and some detail paintwork applied to the ship screws and the anchor. Finally another coat of gloss before some weathering and final assembly.
Note the 'stand' has been painted in gloss black but requires another coat of gloss black to provide a better finish.
Next job is weathering, followed by final assembly, then ariel wires, flags, and then a final semi matt coat to finish.
Some pictures of current state follow:-

Hi Roger,
Nice detail on the staining and exhaust streaks, it really is coming together well.
Keep at it.....
