Pour me a B-17C please . . .

[clipper1801]

So what if a guy taking a cue from Zoe, snuck in an order for a few B-17F's in i/200" scale before the rest of you bought them out . . .



New stabilizer, rudder and rear fuselage will be carved . . . and hey its Friday too!

[Zoe Brain]

I note AIM will be bringing some out too - they're needed for early Pacific and European scenarios.

such a lovely bird! even though it made sense for combat, i always thought the addition of the tail gun position and increase in rudder/fin size somewhat spoiled the looks of the b-17.

[clipper1801]

First of the many . . .



The C model is distinctive with its cool rudder



Couldn't resist the Brit colors
