I’d like to show you a few new pictures of my model B-17G-40-DL ”Flying Fortress” A/C # 44-6117, LG-Q 'no name' from 322BS / 91BG, depicted as it may have looked during its fifth and last mission on 21st June 1944. The bomber crashed on 21st June 1944 in the lake at Castle Stolzenburg (Stolsko), nt Politz (Police), ca 14 miles NW of the place where I live in Szczecin. The wreckage remains in the lake until today. I dedicate these pictures to the family of one of the airmen onboard the aircraft during the fatal flight - TTG and flight engineer - SSgt Irvin H. Lewis. The pictures of the model from the previous session here on Britmodeller.com brought SSgt I.H. Lewis’s relatives to finding a story about the plane in Lake Stolsko. And this has been totally unexpected but very valuable outcome of my modelling passion. The pictures are deliberately dark - just think about the original plane in the dark waters of the lake - mysterious, isn't it? Thanks guys for watching.

Just finished this one. Hasegawa 1/72 B-17G built as "Chuckie", a currently flying restored warbird. Until recently, was owned by Jerry Yagan of the Military Aviation Museum located near me. I apologize for the pictures, I can't seem to get NMF a/c to come out clear. Hope you like.
