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 both of these aircraft are camouflaged and equipped with chin turrets, only one is a B-17G, the other is a late model B-17F.

This decal set provides markings for two aircraft:

  • B-17G-10-DL, 42-37736, DF-G, 324 BS/91 BG, 'Duke Paducah'
  • B-17F-75- DL, 42-3555, N, 560 BS/388 BG, 'Tiger Girl', Fall 1943

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

B-17 B-17

Definitely recommended!

My sincere thanks to Meteor Productions for this review sample!
