A few weeks and the B-17 Single Type Group Build will begin here at our favorite modelling forum . Small surprise I shall try to build a plane that has my initials on it;
B-17G-35-BO 42-32025 "DREAMBABY". Not just any B-17, as can be seen in the pic (courtesy of IWM) below! And a survivor of the war, which is always a nice thing to know.
I may consider myself lucky, as there is one Kits-World decal set 172109 that gives me Squadron codes VP* for the fuselage, and correctly colored Group and Division markings for the tail and starboard wing. It looks like I need to source two sheets for the second fuselage P from set 172012 and the Bu.No 232025 from 172005, so far so good, but where can I get the smaller P for the tail? I know I must try my artistic abilities on the plane name and the pin-up 😰.
Best regards, V-P
