richdlc Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 OK guys I need to pull my finger out & start researching the big B-17 build i know there's a tonne of info on the internet, but I'm a tactile guy & would like some reference books as well. Can anyone recommend some titles? I need books that have a rundown of the differences between the different variants. I guess the detail & scale series, right? I already have these: thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 For modelling, The Aero detail available direct from: www.rzm.com. For genuine color pics, find "B-17 in color" by Jeff Ethell. Once you look at the pics, and sort of take in the weather conditions the day the pics were taken, you have a good idea of the actual wartime colors.

LSP_K2 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Though I don't have this specific volume, all of the Crowood books I do have are very helpful. Crowood B-17 Flying Fortress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
