Using the academy kit , should be making a start soon

Some pics of the kit and Belle herself ( source: wikipedia)

Nice one Daniel. Some shots there I haven't seen before. Coincidence, as last night I watched the WW2 produced documentary (by William Wyler) on the real 'Belle, and an hour ago I was looking at an MoD web-site showing Bassingbourn!
 
Sweet, another B-17, Not sure if you need anything Daniel but I do have the Biography of a B-17 flying fortress the Memphis Belle by Brent William Perkings.
 
Cheers guys , nice siggy too CR

Cheers mate , any photo's would be good/appreciated - book sounds good!
 
Sorry Daniel, kinda forgot about this. Bunch of pictures Ive found at footnote. Note the main landing gear even has art.

Enjoy!!!
