You wouldn't happen to have any pictures of your plane would you? Also, not to sound like a little child, but what was it like flying in a B-17?Blue Yonder: I flew in PB-1's in the Navy, back in the '50's. This is a Navy
version of a B-17. We did not have four seats in the cockpit. I don't recall
what model B-17 we had, because they had no weapons or turrets. The
radioman and the navigator sat behind a small bulkhead several feet behind
the pilot/co-pilot. Maybe someone on the forum knows something I don't.

I looked at the instructions to double check and see whether it was the result of a missing part, but it says that the bulkhead goes behind the second set of seats. This is a C/D varient, and I have been extremely unsuccessful at finding any interior views of this variation. The kit was made overseas, along with the instructions, maybe they messed up the whole kit's cockpit design? It's really hard for me to figure out the inside, mainly because there are no B-17 C/D's around today. Only F's, G's, and E's (and the other variations)Blue, you sure you're not missing that bulkhead that Charles is talking about? If you check through the Aviation Photos section or some of the museum threads I remember some interior pics of B-17s.
Thanks Wurger. I can't tell you how much this has helped. Where did you find these images?
