Here are some colorful B-17s just released in the Cutting Edge line. These represent late 1943/early 1944 aircraft that still wear camouflage. Note that all three of these B-17Gs are in green/gray camouflage.

This decal set provides markings for three aircraft:

  • B-17G-1-BO, 42-31053, BX-W, 338 BS/96 BG, 'Stingy' early 1944
  • B-17F-60- DL, 42-3430, U, 338 BS/96 BG, 'Carolina Boomerang', Oct 1943
  • B-17G-35-BO, 42-1983, IY-G, 615 BS/401 BG, 'Mary Alice', Jun 1944

This set will certainly provide some interesting options for your Revell or Monogram kits, especially if you're intimidated by bare metal subjects.

Definitely recommended!
