Not so strange a request, the Army asked to try a B-17F converted to Allison engines, easy to do in resin, just take a B-17F, lop off the engines and add an Allison engine and cowl, but from where . . .
Ahh, used some mold putty to make a mold over the engines of a Lightning . . .
Then to do the magic pour . . . twice!
Prep the B-17F
Add the new engines . . .
Final filling and filing . . . and its off to the paint room! : )
