Interesting...

more questions :-)

For the B-17F, which canopy set do you have? There is an early/late version...
Example nose: Later version on left, Early version on Right


I'm interested in getting my hands on another "early" version set of canopies, and a set of fiberglass cowls. Fiberglass specialties sells the cowls, but its $60 for 4 tiny cowls.... seems overkill.

As for the superchargers. No reference to them in the instructions, no reference to them on the plans that I can see... my 2 detail kits cockpit/canopies don't have them included and I can find no reference to them online...leading me to believe they may be a detail left off this kit as it was an early royal design... It would be a great detail to add ... I'd love to have them.. but I have no source to pass on to you for them.....hmmmm
