I would like to enter this a/c in the GB.

 

It is the first B-17 loss in that has crashed in occupied Europa.

 

I had a hard time finding at photo of the accual plane, manage to get at not very sharp clip from youtube.

 

Will be finished in DG/DE/PRUBlue.

Another one to look forward to Jes, I'm a fan of these birds. It might pay to check the dihedral, I seem to recall that one of these Academy b-17s had a dihedral issue, yes, discussed here

Steve..

I have noticed that and have inserted plasticcard along the upper edge of the wing to fuselage joint. I have checked againts drawing at it look ok now.

 

cheers
