RE: Royal B17 build
It was an old Mey Tech kit. Have not been able to find any info on the kit. It was a direct splash from a Royal/Marutaka B-17. It was not even almost an ARF. Took all my years if building exeperience, and over a year to complete.
The models are 16th scale, so scale pilots & crew will be hard to come by. If you don't want a lot of detail, small plastic "army men" would pass. 4 1/4" tall would be about right size.
