nmayhew Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 What books / references would be most helpful showing markings / schemes mixed with when and where they were based? I am starting from a base of zero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegallacci Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 If I do the kit at all, I'd likely back-date it into a 'B model, not as crazy a job as that guy in the in-progress section doing the uber-build 'D , but would be very dependent on my copious free time.

brahman104 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) If I do the kit at all, I'd likely back-date it into a 'B model, not as crazy a job as that guy in the in-progress section doing the uber-build 'D , but would be very dependent on my copious free time. Hahaha! So typical that I've just about got the fuselage to the shape I want, then HK releases a new one...... Still I really hope they've addressed the shape issues this time, I'll definitely buy one. I'm much more a fan of B-17s in the PTO, so my pick would be one called "Black Jack" which ditched off the coast of New Guinea in 1943.... apparently still a really good wreck to dive on. It'd be nice to see a few more B-17 builds going on... they seem to have dropped off the radar lately.....

Royboy Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 100 Squadron RAF, based at Oulton, Norfolk, for me. Just love all of those arials stuck all over it! Known in the U.K as the Fortress Mk II the B17F's in their use were used for Electronic jamming and for Intelligence gathering. Great colour scheme too!!! Roll on.

brahman104 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Does anyone have any photos of the new kit? Graham's post appears to be the only thing I can find on this imminent release..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
