Another kit is added to my Matchbox collection 2nd Patches was an Italy based olive drab painted B-17G, at some point or points in it's life various parts of this machine were replaced with parts from other aircraft giving it a part painted / unpainted livery. Nearly all the larger clear parts have been replaced on this model, but apart from that is pretty much as Matchbox intended with very little re-scribing or other work. Paints are Revell olive brown with Humbrol and Testors olive drabs, while the bare metal is alclad. To sum up, a fun build that I could of carried on messing about with for ever. The windows need a bit of a clean. Thanks for looking.

2ND PATCHES Matchbox B-17G Flying Fortress, 346 Bomb Group, 99th Bomb Squadron, 15th Air Force, Tortorella, Italy, 1944. It looks like this will be the group builds only B-17 and certainly it's only Matchbox B-17. I shall be building this one almost straight out of the box, the paint scheme looks an interested one, with all its repairs and patches. Here are the sprue shots.
