Thanks but I'm all set with my B-17's. I think...

The only thing I've done on them so far is some on the spree painting. If there is going to be a GB I'll hold up. Besides I have someone making masks for me for one of the projects and he needs some time so that's one reason I've been stalling.
For the record the second B-17 (the F model) I'm building is going to be the "Spotted Cow"

Nice pictures. Its funny that the cockpit was so damn small that they had to put the gun-site outside the aircraft and the engine gauges are on the outside of the engine nasals

What do you mean?
My B-17 subjects worked out really well. For "Old 666" I will need to add additional guns to the aircraft. For example I will replace the single 30 Cals in the waist for duel 50s on each side. 2 additional 50s in the chin section for the bombardier and one for the pilot. Finding extra 50 Cal machine guns would normally be a stumbling block but my other B-17 will have no weapons at all so I will be able to use those on "Old 666"
