Dear Fellow Members, I am seeking info or photos pertaining to the Grand Slam machine - particularly if/when the upper turret fairing area was painted camouflage or not after removal. I've seen photos of ONE aircraft - YZ-C where this area was not camouflage. Some have assumed it was bare...

Does anyone have any photos of 1930s era US Aircraft bombs? I need reference material to scratch build anything from 100 lbs to 1000lbs for a project - definitely pre-WW2. Thanks so much!!!!

Does anyone have photos of Early US Aircraft Bombs that I can use as a reference? I am looking for bombs of any size from 1930-1939. Thanks much!!!!

Dear Airframes - thanks so much for your offer! I have a pretty decent set of those decals from one of my Lancaster kits, so you may want to hold on to them for a future build! I thank you very much for such a kind gesture. If you happen to come across anyone with leftover Aeromaster decals...

Dear Thorlifer and Wurger, thank you so much for responding - any and all help is greatly appreciated. I don't even need complete Aeromaster Lancaster Pt 1 decal sheets - I'm just looking for Squadron Codes and Noseart for two aircraft. Thanks again, gmh

All, If you have leftover 1/48 Aeromaster Lancaster Decals, I'll pay you good money for them. I'm looking for Bombers at War, Pt. 1 - essentially "Oor Wullie" and/or "Lets Have Another". Should you have decals you're not going to use, name a fair price and I'll arrange to purchase them...

These are genius Celerite - my thanks go to you two-fold! Cheers, Geoff

Attention B-17 Experts: I'm looking for closeup photos of B-17 Ailerons - especially in the dropped position. I need to know how those flaps are actuated so I can accurately depict them in 1/48 scale. Thank you so much, Geoff H.

Great Gentlemen of the Forum, Does anyone know where interior lighting was placed in the B-17? Besides the cockpit area, I am very interested in knowing whether lights were placed in the bomb bays, radio room, or waist gunner areas. Any photos will greatly enhance a 1/48 scale model under...

All (and especially Antoni), Thank you very much for this absolutely fantastic advice. Let's hope I can make a model that lives up to this aircraft's history. Geoff

All, I'm having trouble establishing accurate tailfin markings for Lancaster HW-Z (ED 905) Grog's the Shot. One internet site shows double yellow stripes on the tailfin yet the latest Revell 1/72 kit release shows all-yellow tailfins. See attachments! Can anyone tell me which...

Thanks much for the advice!

Has anyone seen or done a model of the Boeing Model 299 or YB-17 in 1/48 scale? It seems that replication of of the nose and gun blisters for this aircraft are non-existent. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Has anyone modeled the YB-17 or Boeing Model 299 in 1/48 scale? This aircraft was the progenitor of the B-17 most people speak of, but many features do not seem modelled in this scale at all. Any help you all can provide is greatly appreciated
