Homebee Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) Schemes Source: https://www.facebook.com/hkmmodels/posts/1720734878176130 Quote Hello, Just finished the marking and decal for B-17EF. The research on markings is very time consuming and reading lot of references. Thank you so much for the effort and knowledge from Maciej and Tod on B-17E Chief Seattle, and B-17F Memphis Belle and Knockout Dropper. They are absolutely awesome. now share with you the marking for B-17E Chief Seattle. V.P. Edited January 17, 2017 by Homebee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don149 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Homebee!, those fingers you feel around your throat are mine!. Going by the pics of the box art I thought there were just markings for the "Belle" and an E type.Guess what?, Ive just spent £20-40 on two Kits Worlds decal sheets to make the "Knockout Dropper"(kick).

James S. Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I just wish, and I'm in no way complaining, that they would have had two options for the E model instead of just one, and markings for a Pacific B-17F. I will be getting one though. Anyone happen to know the release date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
