72modeler Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I tripped over this one accidentally this morning- isn't that always how it happens? Some wartime, bond tour, and recent footage of the Belle that I hadn't seen before that I thought might be of interest. I would gladly pay for a copy of the eleven hours of footage that Wyler shot during the making of his film- bet there were some incredible views in them! You can sure see the difference in the OD applied to the fin subassemblies by the various contractors that were a characteristic of B-17's in the original footage. Wonder how many bottles of Modelmaster OD it took to do the restoration? Video via You Tube. Mike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franky boy Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Great film and thanks for posting. By coincidence I actually watched the war time movie on the Memphis Belle last night which is fascinating. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
